HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS PLACE (pinned post)

IDK what to go by so I guess you can just call me Dragon or what ever variant of my username, I'll figure it out. They/Them | Something else should go here so It looks nice | Brain to Image converter More info under the thingy \/ \/ \/

I also make comics! Those can be found here (2 complete comics ATM): https://comicfury.com/profile.php?username=ADragonSoulArt

Main Blog: This is my main blog, where I use the site and reblog stuff with my art and other posts intermixed.

Arthropods Blog: Where I post about my Ants and other arthropods and reblog other folks arthropod content. Art Blog: Where you can find just my art and related information! Posts are usually reblogged from my main account with tags for sorting content. (comic pages are not usually posted here)

Comic Blog: Where I'm trying my best to post pages of my comics to. Currently All of "The Lost Soul" is posted to it and "Rise of Annelida" is queued in its entirety. Once I have a live uploading comic I will likely be posting update notifs here at the least.

Yeah sorry wasp haters but y’all don’t know shit. Have you ever even seen the cuteness of Bembicini?

What's little buddy doing?

It’s probably a female digging a burrow for her eggs :)

Leaf your leaves on the ground (no, seriously.) They provide so much for bugs, places to lay eggs places to hibernate. This comic does a great job at showing WHY we don't see our little friends as often, because our systems and social expectations are anti-earth and anti-life. Don't eradicate your friends (maybe just that one) let the leaves lay

Entomologists don't want you to know this one simple trick

Happy pride ants

One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.

I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

Get woke. Love bugs.

Pit firing some clay sculptures and HELLO???

Crashed into my leg, had to stop her from flying into the fire

[adragonsoulants]

Something I forgot to add about this encounter was that she is LOUD. Like not bee or wasp loud, but distinctly loud in her own very clumsy way (imagine a large clumsy beetle flying but slower). Never actually seen let alone heard Camponotus fly so that was cool!

This sighting does also confirm for me that spring has come a couple weeks early this year here as I don't normally see these gals until closer to the last week of May.

Makes me feel better that I've already started planting hah
