I think this will be my first Linocut design I try out.

This image features a green lacewing, an insect known for its delicate, translucent wings and bright green body. Lacewings are beneficial predators, feeding on aphids and other pests. Their larvae, often called "aphid lions," are voracious hunters, making them valuable allies in natural pest control.

Spotted these love bugs during their moment of connection – nature's small wonders remind us of life's cycles and resilience.

When I was 19 I did a bunch of acid and had a stick and poke kit so I wanted a tattoo of keropi but I was on a fuck ton of acid so this was the result

And I’ve been trying to get it covered up but I keep getting ghosted by artists for some reason, but I finally found one that’s willing to do a etymology coverup and he planned this out

And I can’t wait I’ll post a update I go in 54 minutes

As urban expansion quickly replaces natural habitats, façade engineer Alistair Law has discovered a new way to restore native ecosystems for pollinators and create natural spaces for us all within cities – by turning the walls of buildings into meadows.

Alistair has developed his “Vertical Meadows” as a way to combat biodiversity loss in the heart of cities like London. To do it, he’s targeting the vertical surfaces of buildings and installing seasonal living walls of plants that are native to the region, grown directly on-site. The engineering builds on existing systems so the plants thrive year-round with limited need for water, and installation remains simple and cheap. He gets his seeds from Donald Macintyre, who grows a wild array of native plants with the help of his daughter (and some Shire horses). Together, they hand-harvest each flower to provide a biodiverse mix of 50 different native species.

Alistair is joined by Scarlett Weston of BugLife at a vertical meadow in full bloom in downtown London. She’s monitoring bees visiting the meadow, and hopes more pollinators will use these sites as stepping stones across the city, helping to bridge gaps along larger corridors she’s establishing across the UK.
