I like to think that Follie is mostly harmless but deeply weird. (I don't know where atramentum comes from either.) (Also I have spent more time making custom icons for the Shadowgraph than I would like to admit) #warframe #follie #easter #egg #art

Sometimes your kid asks you to draw cephalopods with 10 eyes with a crayon (and a scary ghost and a bat), and you just gotta let it happen #doodle #cthulhu #octopus #squid #weird

An anatomical animatic about an arthropod (Today I learned mantises have a single ear) #animation #insect #mantis #SciArt

Big bug posters about Stagmomantis wheelerii #mantis #education #art #insect #SciArt

Bug feets and bug tibias (I spent way too much time looking at mantis feet >_>) #crafts #SciArt #insect #buglegs

Made a goofy poseable bold jumping spider (Phidippus audax) for a friend 🕷️ 👀 #needlefelt #fiberart #phidippus #spider

I heard drawing a fish helps with art block. I guess it worked? #fishtheory #garibaldi #doodle

I'm writing and illustrating another book! I asked fans what my next book should be about, and the biggest response was for more bugs! It's still in the early stages, so follow the project for sneak peeks! #selfpublishing #backerkit #mimicry #SciArt

I did my first author reading of my book on Monday, and as a person who grew up terrified of public speaking, I'm pretty proud of that.

It makes me wonder what other unconventional computing is going on.

Designed a sticker for handing out at events! The California dogface butterfly (Zerene eurydice) is California's state insect. The males have the dog-face pattern on their wings, along with patterns only visible in UV! #insect #SciArt

I've only known Rocky for a couple chapters, but I'd do anything for this precious starfish-spider-friend #projecthailmary #doodle

What other animals are considered weird, yet flagrantly continue to exist despite what people say about them? #weird #animals #giraffeweevil #pelicanspider #nakedmolerat #doodle

Molas found their niche and have existed for millions of years! It looks strange, but this is what peak performance looks like for a jellyfish-eating machine. Inspired by @hankgreen.bsky.social. Available at my shop; link in bio! #mola #sunfish #weird #fish #SciArt #redbubble #findyourthing

What if spiders could communicate using hand signs? (featuring Patty the Tarantula) #hands #tarantula #doodle

Drawing all these frogs for #hoppynewyear taught me that frogs and toads come in all shapes, colors, and sounds. And now they're compiled into an illustrated guide to frog families! Link in bio to buy the print! #illustratedguide #anura #education #amphibian #art #redbubble #findyourthing #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The South American water frogs include two of the world's largest frogs. One of these is the Lake Titicaca Frog, which can live as far down as 120 meters underwater. #hoppynewyear #telmatobiidae #laketiticacafrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Happy Weevil Wednesday! I am turning this beloved weevil figurine design into a plushie! The sample has just been approved 🎉

Hoppy New Year: The cloud forest landfrogs include the Pristimantis genus, which has the most species of any vertebrate (626 species). New species of these frogs are still being discovered! #hoppynewyear #strabomantidae #cloudforestfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The Seychelles frogs are elusive because they are tiny and tend to hide in leaf litter or rock crevices. #hoppynewyear #sooglossidae #seychellesfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The leaping frogs are found only in central and southern India. Most of the species belonging to this family were discovered in the 2010s. #hoppynewyear #ranixalidae #leapingfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: There are 3 species of mouth-brooding frog, all of which are endangered. The Southern Darwin's Frog keeps its tadpoles in its vocal sac until they develop into froglets! #hoppynewyear #rhinodermatidae #mouthbroodingfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: This family of frogs includes the pixie frog, an absolute unit often kept as a pet. Their ancestor, Thaumastosaurus, existed in Europe during the Eocene epoch. #hoppynewyear #pyxicephalidae #africanbullfrog #pixiefrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The Asian tree frogs are found in both south and southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. A notable member of this family is Wallace's flying frog, which glides with its feet! #hoppynewyear #rhacophoridae #treefrog #flyingfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #herpetology #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: True frogs are what you'd see if you looked up "frog" in the dictionary. They're found worldwide (except Antarctica) occupying habitats near water. #hoppynewyear #ranidae #truefrog #redleggedfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The puddle frogs are named after the fact that they lay their eggs in puddles. Some species vary greatly in pattern and coloration, making species identification difficult. #hoppynewyear #phrynobatrachidae #puddlefrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Rocky river frogs are found in a small part of central and eastern Africa. Their tadpoles may be either semi-terrestrial or fully aquatic. #hoppynewyear #petropedetidae #rockyriverfrogs #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Despite the name, grassland frogs can be found in a variety of habitats in sub-Saharan Africa, along the Nile in Egypt, and in Madagascar. Many of them have long hind legs and long feet. #hoppynewyear #ptychadenidae #grasslandfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Many escuerzos have pointy bits over their eyes, and most of them have warty skin. They live in open grasslands and forests, but must lay their eggs in water. #hoppynewyear #odontophrynidae #smoothhornedfrog #escuerzo #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: As their name suggests, torrent frogs live near fast-moving streams and rapids. They sometimes eat other frogs, but it's not known if their teeth exist for that purpose. #hoppynewyear #odontobatrachidae #torrentfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Night frogs are also known as wrinkled frogs, because most of them look pruney. They range from tiny (less than 20 millimeters long) to pretty big for a frog (over 80 millimeters). #hoppynewyear #nyctibatrachidae #nightfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: These frogs are named after the place where they were discovered, the Cerro de la Neblina. They are only found on the highest parts of the plateaus there. #hoppynewyear #neblinaphrynidae #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The purple frogs are found only in southwest India. They lay their eggs in the ephemeral streams created by the monsoon season and spend the rest of the time in burrows. #hoppynewyear #nasikabatrachidae #purplefrog #pignosedfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: More Australian ground frogs! This family includes the recently extinct gastric-brooding frog, which incubated its young in its stomach. #hoppynewyear #myobatrachidae #australiangroundfrog #turtlefrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Dancing frogs are endemic to India's Western Ghats, an area of incredible biodiversity. Some scientists believe that there are still more species of dancing frog yet to be discovered there. #hoppynewyear #micrixalidae #dancingfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The most well-known Australian ground frogs are the pobblebonks, named after the "bonk" sound they make. Despite their common name, some species are found in New Guinea. #hoppynewyear #limnodynastidae #groundfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy Valentine's Day from a Madagascar tomato frog 🍅🐸💖 #hoppynewyear #tomatofrog #frog #<3 #dyscophus #art #valentine

Hoppy New Year: The narrow mouthed frogs can be found on multiple continents in a variety of habitats, ranging from deserts to rainforests. Most of them have round bodies, stout hind legs, and short snouts. #hoppynewyear #microhylidae #narrowmouthedfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: The Mantellidae family consists of three very different subfamilies, Mantellinae (resembles poison dart frogs), Laliostominae (looks like the average frog), and Boophinae (similar to tree frogs). #hoppynewyear #mantellidae #malagasypoisonfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Big news! Insects A to Z is now available on Amazon in paperback and digital formats! The original hardcover edition is still available at my Etsy shop and (for the Bay Area locals) at Towne Center Books. #selfpublishing #childrensbook #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Tropical grass frogs can be found from the southern United States to South America. Tadpoles that hatch from foam nests remain in the nests (without eating!) until they develop into frogs. #hoppynewyear #leptodactylidae #grassfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

Hoppy New Year: Some species of sedge frog have sexual dichromatism, where males and females have different colors. This is rare among frogs, and sedge frogs are used to study the effects of estrogen-like compounds. #hoppynewyear #hyperoliidae #sedgefrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt
