Drawing Bugs I've Photographed! (2)

Western Dusky Slug, Arion subfuscus

Rathke's Woodlouse, Trachelipus rathkii

I think this picture is funny, it makes me wonder about how much slugs can really see, and if they know what they were doing haha :)

I think I'll just do a slug fact since I'm very likely to draw more isopods in the future. While drawing, I noticed the hole on the side of the slugs body, which is called the 'pneumostome', or breathing pore. Both air-breathing slugs and snails have breathing pores which act as an opening for the gastropod to breathe, like how humans have nostrils. Unlike our nostrils though, slugs don't smell through their breathing pores, and instead the slug uses it's two lower sensory tentacles on its head to smell, located under it's upper optical tentacles which are used for sensing light. Slugs also only have one lung!

I mean surely we all grew up feeling like there was a wrongness inherently deep inside us that will endure for the rest of our lives

That's just a little woman? And another little woman and her carrot?

She's also legally protected because her species is endangered :C

(First one is a king cricket/wetapunga/giant weta, Deinacrida heteracantha, not positive on exact species on the carrot-eater, but obviously another giant weta)
