It’s Weevil Wednesday! Weevils are probably the most diverse and successful group of any kind of living things, and their adorable snouts are definitely playing a critical part in their success. I’m happy to complete a new illustration & sticker sheet design for them! 💚🌱

We love jumping spiders because they are smol, cute, active, friendly and always looking around curiously with their huge eyes. But do you know they’re also masters of mimicry? Check out the bugs they pretend to be (and some of those are really good)!💚💚

The gothmoth print is always one of my best sellers at expos, and I’ve being thinking about a new version with the iconic black witch featured as well! I will also make a silver foil print version which will be available at future in person events as well!

The Great Old Ones - this is something already existed in my mind when illustrating the previous cephalopods piece; and so glad I’ve completed it so now I can display them side by side💙 Never stop missing prehistoric cephalopods! Thinking about making this one a silver foiled print as well!

Double sided bucket hat! Those are my first 2 designs featuring isopods and the whale fall gang! 💚link in bio 🌱

Quicksand acrylic magnet! Those are my new merchs and they fit aquatic scene so perfectly 💙 Available online now and link in bio!

So excited that my first ever plushie is finally launched! Let me introduce Herko the Hercules beetle! This little fella is brave & fearless but soft & squishy at the same time, ready to be your warrior, companion and best friend! Available online now, link in bio 💚💚

The Deep Ones - I’ve been always thinking about a deep sea Cephalopod theme and here it is! Tentacles and appendages are so different when it comes to arranging the composition so it took me a good while, and hopefully it ends up well! 🦑🐙They’re just like from another world💙

Meet the blue death feigning beetles raised under California sun, and ethically harvested with love💙 those little cuties are 100% handmade, and will be available in my store tomorrow (Thursday 12pm pst)!

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take a peacock jumping spider with you. If not enough, take four! 💚💚 All those cute little folks are available, link in bio! 💚💚

New enamel pin design “I beleaf”, it will be a 2-layer pin on pin connected with spring like my jumping spider series, so the leaf insects can do their favorite waggle dance on the leaves!🍃 Let me know your thoughts or what’s your favorite color variant!

*Shop Update* new DND and ladybugs T shirts along with the classic isopod design are on pre-sale! The pre sale will last 2 weeks till August 16th, and will take about 2 months to fulfill after the presale is over. Also new pin along with mass restocks! Link in bio 💚💚🪲🐛

It’s national #mothweek ! Elegant, mysterious, and incredibly diverse, moths are such fantastic creatures that deserve as much or even more attention as butterflies 🦋 there’s not even a moth emoji yet!

I’m always thinking about a deluxe version of DND bugs with more classes, and after a long time of chaos and intense work among shows I’ve finally got some time to finish it! Which one would you choose? 💚🐛🐞🐝🪲

Finally got some time to film another process video! Enjoy making a Hercules friend with me! 💚

I’ve done those micro environment themed illustrations last year, and they’re still some of my favorites! 💚🌿🐛

New sticker sheets available online now! The scorpion and firefly ones have special iridescent effects and it turns out so well under light! And the Nepenthes buddies are so cute! 🌿💚🐛 link in bio 💚

A Venus fly trap polymer clay figurine I’ve made for Bay Area carnivorous plant show showroom’s artwork section last weekend 🌿 it’s a lot of fun making plant themed figurines then adding a smoool bug friend to it!

“Shrimps is bugs” is a funny meme, but there’s some truth in the reverse version, “Bugs is shrimps” 🐛🦐 Since insects are literally a group of terrestrial crustacean. And among all the insects, bristletails are probably the most shrimp-like in my opinion!

Centipedes are highly misunderstood creatures, so I’m really happy to hear multiple requests on drawing those beautiful danger noodles (leggy version)! Their “fangs” are actually a pair of modified legs, and those curly antennae are my favorite parts

Happy World Oceans Day! As a bug person I don’t have a lot of marine themed arts, but for the ones I’ve occasionally done I really enjoyed creating them! Anyone want to see me doing more marine critters?

Let’s go and find some little clay friends in their natural habitats!! 💚🌿

I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be at Lightbox 2025; see you there!! 💚💚💚 #lightbox #lightbox2025 #LBX2025 #LightBoxExpo

My new velvet ant polymer clay figurine design! Those little cuties are not true ants but wingless parasitoid wasps that are fluffy, velvety, and packed with hot stingers! Their clay version are totally harmless thought 💚

Happy international day of biodiversity! 🌿🐛🐞🐜🪲

*Niche critter profile* We all love stag beetles, but do you know there are a few stag beetle genus that are myrmecophilous (evolved to live with ants or termites)? They are tiny but look unique and bizarre in a different way compared to their big and showy relatives!

I make insect art, but sometimes I also wanna make art for insects’ art! So here is an #artvsartist, but the bug version. Insects can be quite OCD some times and make geometrically perfect, aesthetic, and satisfying patterns on mixed mediums! Which one is your favorite artists? 💚

Have you ever seen a scorpion glowing in the dark under UV light? So does this scorpion pin! Those cuties are available & link in bio 💙🦂

The scorpion pins are finally completed and they look so good irl! The blue one has night glow effect but I need to figure out how to take a decent photo of that. 🩵 they are available now, link in bio💚💚🦂

*Niche critter profile* I’ve just learnt about Pagurapseudidae, they are really cute little hermit crab like crustaceans live in gastropod shells 🐚. It’s a result of convergent evolution and they’re actually more closely related to isopods!

Shop update! I’ve listed a bunch of new stickers, some of them are new designs and materials (those glittery and transparent stickers look sooo good in person!) They are available at my online shop, link in bio 💚💚

Happy Flick! 💚

Another 3 new sticker sheets are available now! Here comes the stag beetles, caterpillars and praying mantis! Link in bio 💚💚

They’re finally here! The giant isopods! I really love how they turned out at the end 💚 which is your favorite variant? I will be at Sacramento reptile expo this weekend, so please feel free to come by if you’re there! Those pins are available online as well! Link in bio 💚

Stacking the peacock mantis shrimp! Those feisty solitary little folks usually don’t get along with each other well, but thankfully they’ve managed to be polite during the whole filming process!

Little fella lining up! What a nice spring day 💚

Scorpions under UV light! I’m making this into a sticker sheet too, and how about add some special effects like holographic? 🩵

Wake up ladybugs! The overwintering aggregation was sweet but now it’s spring time! 💚🐞

Little fella enjoying the spring! They look so good in their natural habitat! 💚

I’m so happy that I’ve finally done a firefly&glowworm themed piece! When we talk about bioluminescent insects, we usually first think of those flying & twinkling little fairies. However, many of them are in the form of wingless “worms”, and I found them equally fascinating 💙

It’s weevil Wednesday again! Watch my process of making this cute little weevil 💚 Hope you enjoy it 💚

I’ve been really busy recently but still got some time for a small sticker design! Sexual cannibalism of praying mantis is probably one of the most well known insect behaviors, although the observation was biased since the cannibalism rate in the wild was a lot lower than in captivity.

It’s weevil Wednesday! Check out this handful of weevils! Unfortunately I’ve dropped one during filming and broke the antenna🥲🥲 need to work on fixing the little fella

My first art book is on pre-sale at this moment! The colors and printing quality of the book is really satisfying! It will last a month & link in bio 💚

Good buddies of Nepenthes! Pitcher plants are not ruthless predators but friendly neighbors for a lot of other little creatures, offering them food, shelter and toilet; and their poops benefit the plant in return! Nepenthes related fauna are just so adorable 💚

May a handful of corn snakes brighten up your day! 🐍 Those little cuties are available in limited numbers & link in bio 💚💚

Big news! I’ve just got the sample of my first art book and really love how it turned out! The book features 52 illustrations and it’s a little world of the amazing kingdom of litter critters 💚 Pre-orders are open now and it will last a month! Link in bio 💚💚

Sushipod 🍣 And there’s a deep sea isopod that looks exactly like this indeed!

A handful of Goliath beetles! I’ve remodeled the design and now they are even rounder and chubbier! I’m obsessed with the combination of black, white and red 🖤🤍❤️

I’m obsessed with the new fly maggot species found by scientists recently that lives in termite colony with a fake termite head on its butt! And those fake antennae and legs are just mind blowing as well.
