[Video ID: A low poly 3D animation of Cerceris, a smoky-winged beetle bandit wasp girl, hovering in place, wings beating rapidly, legs and antennae wiggling, one of her four hands on her coat and another holding, and tipping, the brim of her hat /End IDs.]

It's a little bit jank, I haven't done a whole lot of animation and need to work on my rig setups, but I wanted to try some stuff to get better used to Blender's animation tools! So here's Cerceris!

Howdy there!

[Image ID: A low poly 3D render of Cerceris, a black and beige anthropomorphic smokey-winged beetle-bandit wasp girl clad in cowboy-like clothing, with a ten gallon hat, coat, pants with chaps over top, a shirt, and boots. She's stanced in a sort of kneeling position with 3 of her arms pointed down and one pointed up, tipping the cap of her hat with her fingers. She's outlined by a white border and a brown background. /End IDs.]

New character for y'all! She's an outlaw, but an important one! Based on a Buprestid-hunting wasp, the Smokey-Winged Beetle-Bandit! With that name and the fact they often burrow specifically into sandy soil, you can see why I wanted to make her a cowgirl!

Beautiful friend 💛🖤💛

[ID: a photo of a cerceris wasp on my leg. It is black and yellow and no more than 1cm in length. Aside from the size, it looks similar to Cerceris fumipennis or Cerceris insolita.]
