Intro post :)

🪰🐛🕷️🪲🐜🐝🪱🦟🦋🪳🐞🦐🐌

My name is Andy (he/they). I'm an artist and a fan of creepy crawlies and other little creatures. I follow and like from @mothlm

This blog is HEAVILY inspired by @ onenicebugperday and @ undiscovered-art

My messages, ask box and submissions are open if you want to bring something to my attention directly :)

My definition of "bug art" is pretty vibes-based, most invertebrates I think. I want to amplify as many mediums and skill levels as I can but I'll probably avoid anything that I think is too abstract or anthropomorphic. I also don't tend to reblog photography unless it's a collage or mixed media piece.

I try to be consistent and as accurate as possible with tags but I make mistakes, I'm one guy doing this all manually. I correct them whenever I notice.

Blog runs on a queue that posts once a day might have 100+ posts in the queue

going through some stuff rn and trying to reduce social media usage so idk when ill refill the queue again. thank you for indulging my silliness for two whole years.

Every year millions of Monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles south to overwinter in Mexico.

But this post isn’t about butterflies.

This is the September sticker club design! Can y'all believe it's already September? It feels like this year has gone by so fast.

Sticker club spaces are almost full, so check out the link in my bio before the end of the month if you're interested in this fella :)

“In the margins”, 2025

The margined burying beetle (Nicrophorus marginatus) is a carrion beetle native to North America. I won’t go into much detail here in case you’re feeling kinda squeamish, but the aptly named burying beetles raise their young in “crypts”; formed from the flesh of dead vertebrates that the adults processed and buried. Both parents then stick around and raise their grubs all while defending their fleshy nursery from competitors until the larvae pupate. It’s not often that non-eusocial insects care for their young, so it’s really neat that burying beetles take such great care in ensuring their grubs make it to beetle-hood! 🪲🦴🍄

I’m solidly back in my beetle era, so my page may be pretty beetle-heavy for a bit. I’ve also been having a blast with ecosystem/insect lifecycle pieces as well lately and have a few more on the back burner that I’m slowly chipping away at! Are there any particular insects/invertebrates/ecosystem scenes you’d really like to see me illustrate? Let me know!
