Probably one of my most involved spider pieces yet.

"Brazilian Jewels" - 11x14 inch colored pencil drawing done with Derwent Luminence and Prismacolor pencils and a tiny bit of brush and pencil white fixative.

Typhochlaena seladonia and Typhochlaena curumim Tarantulas. Both are a trap door species. The true flowers of the rain forest.

Prints are available here - https://www.etsy.com/shop/grayghostcreations/

This was a custom commission for Dustin Riley Blevins of Simply Spiders

Future commissions are CLOSED at this time.

Halictus (Seladonia) tripartitus “Sweat Bee” Halictidae

Missoula, MT May 13, 2014 Robert Niese

Another species of small Sweat Bee in the genus Halictus. If you’re interested in attempting to identify these bees with a dichotomous key (there are only 10 species in the Northwest, so it’s not too difficult!), check this one out here. Once you learn more about these little guys, you start noticing them everywhere!
