Today's bug of the day is the common silverfish! I hope you like it I've never drawn a silverfish before so I hope I didn't get any of the major details wrong :]

Monarch Madness Doodles

Some of the quick doodles I've been doing for DE's Monarch Madness event. Some of them are unused or unfinished because someone beat me to posting them.

The "rush hour" doodles are below the cut.

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) is a common household pest that'll eat your wallpaper? They'll eat all sorts of complex sugars that they break down in their digestive tracts, including cellulose. While they will feast on wallpaper, book bindings, old papers, or even carpet, they hold no physical danger to us, as they have no venom or poison or diseases. They looooove dark and humid areas like attics and basements and are commonly found in bathrooms as well. They have been known to moult up to 66 times in their 8(!!) year maximum lifespan, but they clean up after themselves by eating their old exoskeleton.

Silverfish! Probably a common silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) somewhere on the Arizona/Utah border. 

Really living up to his name!
