Polyphemus Moth I found at my grandparents. Probably laying down to call it a life as they're a big moth, nocturnal, and don't live for many days.

I put him back in the grass and called it a lucky find after showing my grandparents.

There are so many kinds of ladybugs! They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Here are some various species I used for loose inspiration. Consider poking around next time you make a ladybird :>

Plenty more under the cut <3

There are so many! And these are only a handful! I tried to keep the shapes basic. Note how even the antennae vary between species! I sometimes didn't add visible ones if the image I was using didn't show it. And all the underbellies were just picked from other colors, not accurate. For fun.

Texas Eyed Click Beetle 》 Alaus lusciosus

This big guy buzzed right past our heads before landing on a tree. Scared us pretty good, but glad I got to see a new bug!
