Sister Dot the carpenter and Sister Helga the seamstress are barely keeping this abbey full of reprobates and slackers from falling apart

GOBLIN BEE

The prothoracic spines on this weevil really make it look like a muppet from certain angles (Geraeus picumnus, I think)

making a list of songs i've listened to in a deeply neurodivergent way over the last year or two

"we traveled to the remote monastery where this specialty cheese is created to interview the monks that hold the secret to its unique woody flavor"

bought some tins and magnet strips to organize my watercolors finally

Thank you @ascalaphid.com !! I love them

good selection of whisker vases at the craft fair today. happy with my choices

So happy with my stickers from @ascalaphid.com !! Thank you!

sometimes when i find a song i really like I'll end up just mindlessly listening to it on repeat for hours while doing insect ID work. the downside is now I'm trying to sleep at 1:45 in the morning and Smooth With The Roughness by Smooth Execution is fully fucking stuck in my head

big fan of when beetles convergently evolve to be extra greebly Oosternum costatum (Hydrophilidae), Onthophilus lecontei (Histeridae), and Rhipidandrus paradoxus (Tenebrionidae) all photos taken from bugguide, also just noticed first one was uploaded by @tyuge.bsky.social

Stumped! This should be a bothriderid but doesn't key out to anything in the US that I can figure out. Seems closest to Sosylus with the round pronotum and prominent carinae but isn't nearly as elogate. @americanbeetles.bsky.social @mcaterino.bsky.social thoughts?

had to euthanize my 4+ year old sourdough starter today because i left it on the counter for too long and it decided to turn an alarming shade of pink RIP

Letterboxd

Day 06 of #septempera - Gardening. I decided to use a piece of illustration board for this one and it was not a smart choice cause I hadn't used it in a long time so the painting took much longer than I anticipated. Different surfaces behave differently, amazing I know 😅

Tormented

today's the 9th anniversary of the first time i drew this character. happy mirthday trungo ascalaphid.com/characters/t...

any sleuths wanna help me track down the artist of this print? I inherited it from my grandmother when she passed away recently since it was hung up in her house my whole life and I was always obsessed with it. the piece's title is "The Last Supper" which is not helpful in my searches

posting increasingly egregious run-on sentence reviews on letterboxd until someone gets mad at me

I cannot express how good this sticker haul is, all made by @ascalaphid.com!!! We've got Weevil Wizard, we've got Fly Dad, we've got skateboarding isopod, we've got Plague Doctor Weevil. And of course, we have Centipede with a gun. All affordably priced and available now!!!

boy why are you like this

my partner and I were on a walk and found this beetle (Buprestidae: Dicerca sp.) that looks like some bird ate its entire shit but is somehow still alive and kicking

on the flip side though there is a new generation of directors who against all odds are actually carving out their own cool tactile styles. off the top of my head, Bertrand Mandico and Matthew Rankin are two of my favorite recent discoveries

the temptation to buy the Demon Core espresso maker i just found is overwhelming

Got my very excellent sticker pack from @ascalaphid.com !!!

Hello! The last couple months have been really expensive for a variety of reasons and I'd really like to recoup some of that, so it's time for another bigass sticker sale ko-fi.com/ascalaphid/l...

my partner had a truly cursed idea for the critter monk setting and i had to draw it

🚨TOSHIRO MIFUNE IN A CROP TOP🚨

My stickers just came in! Im so hyped. Theyre bigger than I thought and super high quality. The only problem is now I have to go buy the other half of the snesbians, because only one came in my mystery pack and she's lonely 😭

Hey all, just wanted to boost again that I'm available for Ko-Fi bird donations atm - I need to get some food for my cats and myself and this would be greatly helpful! ko-fi.com/tytonidaeus

Balcha indica, a massive (10mm!) eupelmid parasitoid of Agrilus jewel beetles. Third one I've found in Oregon so far

watched Timecop for the first time in like 12 years. still rips but one of the goons looks so much like a jacked tim robinson it's super distracting

I spilled amyl acetate on my lab desk and now everything smells like its made of banana laffy taffy

overall I think that my stickers are about as high quality as can be made using consumer grade tech but goddamn I want a Roland BN-20A so fucking bad
