extra #Invertober2025 - Tiger mosquito (Aedes aegypti) 🦟 since I wanted to have her in the 2024 edition but took me 11 months to finish that one I'm already done for this edition for all my Aedes people #SciArt #invertebrates

OCTOBER IS HERE, LET'S A GO! Day 1 #Invertober2025 - Japanese sea nettle (Chrysaora pacifica) 🪼 #SciArt #invertebrates

The Invertober prompt list for 2025 is HERE! If you’re looking for an invert-themed art prompt list for the month of October, here it is 🦀🪲🐚💕 #sciart #invertober #invertober2025

I'm not sure how many of these I'll manage, but I felt inspired by the first #invertober2025 prompt - So here's my Japanese sea nettle (Chrysaora pacifica) with its tangly tentacles! Watercolour and pastel pencil on paper, A4. #invertober #sciart

I'm at the exciting stage of ordering all the lovely moth delights people pledged for! The jigsaw is a go people...this is beyond exciting for my jigsaw loving self! I've got a pre-order store up now too... marvellous-moths.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... #Moths #SciArt #ArtistSupport #Illustration

Now that my Backerkit Cell Painting Magnet campaign is wrapping up (will be literally wrapping up when I start shipping rewards!), I'm taking stock and deciding where next for my #painting. I've updated the portfolio pages on my website www.kathryngarner.co.uk/cell-paintin... #sciart #artsky

More jellies showing up in Wales due to the warmer waters Portugese man o' wars wash up on Pembrokeshire and Anglesey beaches - BBC News share.google/r6KuHLpDw9Co...

I've discovered a new word: 'franticity'. Writing about a picnic in a sandstorm and reaching for a word to describe the 'frantic nature'. Thinking 'franticity' must be made-up but apparently it isn't... Unless an LLM somewhere is trying to convince me the word is real, which is also sadly possible.

300 mauve stingers, or palagia noctiluca, were recorded off an Anglesey beach last week, and also as far south as Pembrokeshire. The Marine Conservation Society said the appearance of a warm water species in the UK is "not surprising" as sea temperatures here rise. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The very rare hydrocarbon mineral carparthite (exceptionally pure coronene C24H12) is fluorescent but tugtupite is called “King of Fluorescent Minerals,” plus it’s tenebrescent (changes colour in UV) & phosphorescent so gains my physics vote plus it’s also a gem on the arts front #MinCup25 #scicomm
