Riley's Clearwing Moth (Synanthedon rileyana), taken June 5, 2026, in Georgia, US

A gorgeous clearwing moth hunkering down for the night on a small leaf, shaded from the sun! Like many clearwing moths, this species appears very wasp-like, especially when flitting between flowers, helping deter their more wasp-averse predators. The number of wasp mimics running around is crazy, but it clearly works to some extent. If you saw this flying and thought it was a yellowjacket, you'd probably leave it alone, too!

MOSASAURIA.

Mosasaurs were the third main lineage of Marine Reptiles of the Mesozoic, and the last one. They diversified throughout the late Cretaceous period, and were the dominant predators of the oceans until they became extict at the same time with Dinosaurs. Their evolutive lineage is not totally clear, but we know the are related to snakes and monitor lizards

This art is available at Redbubble for prints and more here. Many more are shown in this Youtube video I dedicated to this lineage of marine reptiles
