if anyone feels sad tonight please hold this thought for a minute:

the bees in my yard are now so familiar with my walking pace and usual route that they sometimes stop and wait for me to pass when our paths intersect.

polite bees.

This beautiful girl is  Pseudophyllus titan  Because of course she is.  Stunning specimen! (if you wanna see previous finds, just check out my #beestiary tag!)

Finished two felt handmade ornaments of mating leopard slugs. This is the only time of the year I allow myself to use glitter and I must say, it fits their mating organs perfectly! 

I’m planning on selling ornaments, but I don’t think I’ll have the time to finish them before Christmas, so I’ll probably list them next year (my ornaments will stay throughout the whole year obviously…)

If you haven’t seen leopard slugs mating, I highly recommend watching this amazing video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG9qpZ89qzc

Inktober day 6: SWORD

10/10 entomologists agree that a sword fighting praying mantis would be the tightest shit ever.

i met this little dude while doing restoration work at a prairie! his tibia was very short and he had no tarsus on the very short one he had. he was getting in my way when i was trying to get rid of the teasel so i plopped him on my had and he stayed put for a good twenty minutes. 

here he is peeking over the brim of my hat!

Hey I was wondering if maybe you or one of your followers could help me figure what this lil fella is? I can’t get any great pictures cuz he’s like 1/5 of a finger in size but I’m rly curious ;v;

MOD ESA:

Hi hi!! Looks like you’ve got a green lacewing on your hands! The adults don’t feed on other insects, but the larvae are voracious predators that, like ladybugs, can eat mounds of aphids per day!
