Broad-tipped katydid, Texas.

Spotted is interesting lil dude yesterday, some flavor of Thread-Legged Katydid. (Arethaea, species uncertain) Didn't even hesitate to let me relocate 'em to a plant where they blend in better! 😊 (they did give my finger a taste, though. Lol) #entomology #insect #katydid #orthoptera

Following up on my previous bug plushes, I finally finished some new plushy concepts based on tags/comments~ May the dreams of plush phasmids, mayfly larva, vinegaroons, crane flies and dung beetles all come true <3

CYCLOPTERA!! 😍💚 The big leafy dream! 🍃 One of the most incredible leaf mimics in the Amazon, Cycloptera speculata is one special katydid! 🌳 Camouflaging as your food is one of the smartest ideas, especially when you’re so BIG! We were SO happy to see this BEAUTIFUL BUG!! 🤩

a really unusual color for Decticus verrucivorus: green-brown wings with pinkish limbs and head. typically they're just green or brown

i have Siliquofera grandis nymphs now

The recently re-described Palaeocama anthrax is by far one of the weirdest lobopodians discovered yet! This Carboniferous worm was not only was it covered in hundreds of poisonous spines, but it's also the only freshwater non-Tardigrade lobopodian known! #paleoart #art #sciart #blender
