TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Baphomet Moth (Creatonotos gangis) is a moth whose caterpillar love to eat pomegranate tree leaves? These moths are more well known for their large coremata, which when inflated look like tentacles. The coremata are what the male moths use to release pheromones and attract potential mates.

go my moth
Old doodle dump :>
Papyrus and Luigi that I drew at least a year ago.
Dondescript featureless guys, mous, and some kitty's.
Mantis shrimp I made with crayons back when one of my moots was showing off a crustacean hyperfixation. Never posted it though.
Some jellyfish for Lore worldbuilding purposes, a silly moth creature, and a scrapped character concept of a mimic. (Could have been for Lore, I made it years ago though and have since forgotten what story I had for it)
Nicky and Duke from when they were still fresh character drafts!! Nicky wanted to go on a midnight fast food run, but he still doesn't have his driver's license. (I have concept sketches of his future husband but I dont remember where they areee..)
Baz, captivated by a turtle <3
Chibi doodle of the two (I only ever posted Solanum's version) and a sketch I made while doing a leg anatomy/prosthesis study a while back.
Little somethin I made for my (WIP) website!! I'm going to be making a few more but I just wanted to show off the first one I completed!!
Featuring my sona, Grim aka M0TH.exe
You didn't the Entity, right?
...okay, cool, proceed.
I've been enjoying adding some fluorescent touches to these drawings. This one included some glow-in-the-dark paint that I was pleased to see does indeed glow, though the baphomet moth entity would only be photographed in focus under more direct light (how courteous of it).
Baphomet Moth for Day 5 of Mutation March and I'm including a lepidopteran from a previous year just because I liked it.
