Day 8 #SciArtSeptember prompt niche. 🧪🐡 Can we talk about the cutest nesting strategy going? The Eastern Snail Shell Mason Bee (Osmia conjuncta) is a small N American blue bee which makes nests in suitable empty snail shells! In my linocut I show this adorable little pollinator with a Cepaea shell.🧵

Day 3 #SciArtSeptember prompt is jewel. 🧪🐡The forests of southeastern Canada & the eastern US are home to these metallic blue-green beauties known as ebony jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata) or black-winged damselflies. The males, like the one in my hand-carved & hand-printed linocut are turquoise with

Did this illustration off the cuff one day. Just "boop"!!... up and decided to try a hummingbird. The funny part is that it's one of my best-selling stickers!! 🤣💙 #hummingbird #sticker #nature #bird #birds #wildlife #animalart #sciart #hibiscus #flowers #bloomscrolling #birdart

Saguaros are an incredible cactus and many desert animals depend on them for habitat. They are a protected species, and I couldn't imagine an Arizona desert without them. Pictured: Saguaro Sunset #saguaro #desertart #westernart #natureart #naturebeauty #dailyart @bsky.art

Velvet Ants of North America! 🐜

Even more finds from the Bell's Bend State Park #NationalMothWeek event! We hiked around in the dark and had uv, incandescent, LED, and mercury vapor bulbs in multiple spots around the outdoor center. Such an incredible night! ID's in the alt. #BugSky #Invertebrates 🪲 #moths

A few more of my favorite #moth finds ever for #MothWeek! I'm still in awe of finding that huge Hickory Horned Devil (second pic), it was massive! Species info is in the alt, as always. #BugSky #Invertebrates 🪲

The American Crow demonstrates adaptability and intelligence, thriving in various environments. Its vocalizations highlight their communication skills and social structures.

Another new screen print! We've got a sweet little forest floor scene with a toad 🐸 and rhinoceros beetle 🪲. Measures 10" by 4.5", edition of 30. 🎨🐡

Latest print: A blueberry branch! 🫐 Printing these on wooden bookmarks for my upcoming markets. That totals 4 printed bookmark designs in the collection! I've made two plant designs in a row, which means an insect will certainly be next on the docket. Maybe a beetle? 🎨🪲🪳🐡🌱

Finished my cecropia silk moth! She'll be cut out and added to a larger piece I have planned. #sciart #art #moth #drawing #coloredpencil

IT'S MOTH WEEK AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ✨ Everything in my shop 10% off with "MOTHWEEK"! Come get bugs!! Dozens of little delights await! #sciart #insectart #bsnm

Life's been stupid hectic. I've been part of the York Printmakers Festival of Print in a pop-up on High Petergate. I'll be there again, end of August. Been #muckingabout with #collographs #tetrapack & #repeat #blockprinting and #zine writing. Some of which be seeable at York Zine Fest 2nd August!

Hey, have you heard about invasive plants? How about literally every single bug we- wait, this one is dead next to the gas station-wait, I have to get that. ALSO have you seen moths???

I don't speak Japanese, but I do speak Kewpie 😍.

For #InsectThursday and #BugSky, my favorite finds over the past few weeks. A grail moth, the Regal Moth found in a garden center, a Silver Long-jawed Orb Weaver, and a newly discovered flightless grasshopper (Melanoplus ingrami) that is only found in our Middle TN limestone cedar glades.

The junebugs and cicadas are out in abundance, and I've got plenty of awesome stickers of native friends at moonpulseworkshop.bigcartel.com! #bugsky #bsnm #sciart #invertebrates #fungifriends

I've been trying to read more this year, so I took a bunch of old action figures to trade at McKay's here in Nashville and picked up oodles of field guides and naturalist journals. I grabbed this one randomly and turns out, the author is in Nashville! 10000% Recommended, a love letter, indeed.

THE SHOP HAS REOPENED! I've got the 2025 "Deep Sea Adventures" #Anthrocon banner poster, newly restocked honeybee bandanas in both black and yellow, a handful of blind bags (1 pin, 3 stickers in each), and all the usual things besides. 🐛 Come get bugs!!

Cicadas were EVERYWHERE at my last hike (Cloudland Canyon in GA) and making me a little emotional about having just four of my paper art originals from my Brood Collection are left. I'll have to make more - species suggestions appreciated! #entomology #natureart #paperart #papercraft #artsky
