I did this drawing recently as a gift for someone. It is a drawing of a female Mutilla europaea. :) #art #hymenoptera #bug #insect #bugart #entomology #traditionalart

My fourth art fight attack that I did a few days ago for GarfieldPhone on art fight. :) #art #artfight #artfight2026 #digitalart

Received copies of my book today! Very grateful to the Publishers and Editors for all their efforts towards bringing it to life. I’m very pleased with the end result. #Ichneumonidae #Pimplini #Pimplinae

My third art fight attack that I did a few days ago for Mariapoda (on art fight). I absolutely adore bug characters, they're always so fun to draw! #art #artfight #artfight2026 #bugart #insect #bug

I came across this group of flies last week gathered on top of a metal fence. I'm not sure what they exactly are, my best guess is that they're all from the family Anthomyiidae. #flies #diptera #bug #insect #entomology

I saw the backrooms movie yesterday for the second time. The version that I saw in the cinema yesterday was the everything must go edition, which has an extra post credits scene, and a bunch of people got up and left the moment the credits began playing 😭 Nooo guys you missed the bonus stuff noo

Here are the first two art fight attacks that I've done this year! First one is for IErr0rI on art fight and the second one is for @kbdraws92.bsky.social :) #art #artfight #digitalsart #artfight2026

Here is a bug I made up recently for world building purposes. It is a small species of parasitic bug that feeds on blood and lives within the nest of the host. They behave similarly to bed bugs. #art #bug #insect #bugart #traditionalart #specevo

1st attack this year For @thatonecreature.bsky.social

First four #Artfight Attacks, three of which are revenges! In order of appearance: @berfers.bsky.social, @thatonecreature.bsky.social, @sarelm.bsky.social, and @chainikk.bsky.social ! #art

After a bit of thought, I think I'll change my other art account around a bit and start it from scratch. I do have some stuff that I think would be fun to post on there 👀

A forest bug, Pentatoma rufipes, that I found inside my house today. :) #bug #insect #entomology

Whilst outside yesterday, I found this large ichnuemon wasp. Not too sure on the species, Callajoppa cirrogaster possibly? #wasp #hymenoptera #insect #bug

Don't think I've ever seen anything described as grotesque in a dichotomous key before.

Happy pride month!!! I forgot to say that earlier this month, I haven't been that active here recently.😅

I think I might delete my other blue sky account honestly. I made it as a place to post non bug stuff but I barely use it and I have a bigger artist audience over here. Hopefully anyone who's following me for bugs only doesn't mind if I start posting drawings of random creatures sometimes lol.

I'm alive. I just haven't been posting much here recently, I apologise.

Speckled bush cricket nymph, Leptophyes punctatissima, that I found in my garden. #bugs #orthoptera #entomology #insect

A female Andrena haemorrhoa that I found today! #bee #hymenoptera #entomology #bug #insect

I really like bees and out of all the groups out there, my top five bee genera are: 1. Andrena 2. Sphecodes 3. Osmia 4. Bombus 5. Nomada The last three are in no particular order, I simply cannot decide how to order those three.

Over here in the UK, we are currently going through a heat wave. It's boiling hot but at least Oedemera beetles seem to like the weather :) #bug #beetle #insect #coleoptera #entomology

Just saw a European kingfisher!!! I'm so happy! It flew off right before I could snap a photo but I can't describe how happy I am to finally see this bird. I have wanted to see this species for years now :)

I saw some ticks today. A lot of people hate them for feeding on blood and being capable of spreading diseases but I think they're interesting little creatures. Genus Ixodes, I think, for both individuals. #arachnids #ticks #bugs

Still one of my favorite captures. A #fireweed bud #gall midge, Dasineura epilobii, oviposits on a fireweed bud next to an associated #parasitic #wasp (Platygastridae) also ovipositing on the same bud. In situ single shot photo. #macro #photography #entomology #enemies #frenemies #nature #darktaxa

Finished art commission for arthro over on discord! Thank you so much for commissioning me!! I loved working on this drawing. #art #bug #bugart #furryart #digitalart #commission #fly

I think I'll post my art here more often. :)) A bunch of fly doodles from a few weeks ago. It's fun playing around with bug anatomy and trying to stylise it. #diptera #bugart #bugs #insects

Drew another bug, oak bush-cricket (Meconema thalassinum). I haven't really drawn any anthropomorphic orthoptera yet so I thought I'd give it a go. :) #bug #insect #art #bugart #furryart

I promise I'll start posting art and bug photos here again, I just had exams and I currently am doing an art commission so I'm just a bit busy right now.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough! 🎉 We’d like to thank Sir David for over four decades of support for London Wildlife Trust — his wisdom, warmth and unwavering commitment has strengthened our mission at every step.

Not the best photo, but here's a female Andrena haemorrhoa from today. Also watched another individual fly about before she landed and disappeared into her nest. #bees #insects #bugs #entomology

Apparently #WorldRobberflyDay is a thing? I did not know that. Anyways, here's a robber fly I found last year. #entomology

a moment of appreciation for this Ashy Mining Bee’s brilliant moustache

A drawing I did yesterday based off the species Nomada flava. #art #bugart #furryart #bug #bee

Two dance flies (Empis tessellata) in a hedgerow. The male hangs by his front legs as he copulates with a female who is feeding on a nuptial gift (a bibionid fly) he has caught and offered her as a prelude to mating...I watched the whole event..transfixed!

Saw this tachinid fly recently and I was so happy to finally get a photo of this species!!! Common tachinid, Tachina fera. #bug #insect #fly #diptera #entomology

Melecta albifrons, the Common Mourning Bee, on Green Alkanet in my garden yesterday. A new garden record & only the 2nd time I've ever seen it. It is a kleptoparasite on Hairy-footed Flower Bee, of which I have record numbers this year - presumably not a co-incidence.

These mining bees emerge from our grassy areas at home: 1+2 Grey-patched Mining Bee Andrena nitida and, 3 + 4 Ashy Mining Bee Andrena cineraria These are very welcome in our garden every year.

Bee person based off the species Sphecodes monilicornis, the box headed blood bee. I often see Sphecodes bees out at this time of year, it's a shame they're difficult to identify down to species though. #bee #bugart #furryart #bug #art #artist

A traditonal art commission I did recently for @jaiiiiiii1.bsky.social :) Thank you for commissioning me!!! #art #bugart #springtail #artist #furryart #bug

Very cool #ant stuff for the weekend. Original paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The amount of times I've had to correct observations of solitary bees on inaturalist that were identified as honey bees is insane. Please, double check an ID before you suggest it. #inaturalist #meme #entomology #bee #bug #insect

Mason bee, genus Osmia, that visited my garden today :) Most likely Osmia bicornis. #bee #entomology #bugs #insect #masonbee #solitarybee

Female tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva, one of the most striking I’ve seen. Her abdomen was glowing. I’m guessing she had just emerged from the underground nest as she was sleepy.

Wip drawing of a very colourful mosquito.. :D Might sell the design once it's done. #bug #bugart #furryart #artist #wip #art

Quick drawing a of a bee fly I did + a bee fly, Bombylius major, that I saw today! #bugs #insect #entomology #fly #beeflywatch #beefly #artist

Stunning Tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva. Our great thanks to Bill Coulson.

My first alderfly of the year!! No idea on the species. #bug #insect #entomology #alderfly

Drew a guy based off a male tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva. #bugs #bee #insect #bugart #furryart #art #artist
