Eins aus einer 30-minütigen Session mit minütlich immer spektakuläreren Sonnenuntergangsfarben, bei denen ich partout nicht weiß, welches mir am besten gefällt. Das hier liegt aber ziemlich weit vorn.

hello all!
a lil #introduction post as i’m brand new to mastodon but incredibly intrigued by what i’ve seen while exploring so far 😊
i’m danny (they/them), a #nonbinary artist and #insect enthusiast who draws a lot of #nature, especially bugs and mushrooms!! i also take a lot of #photography of nature, and bother people for the identification (i’m a life long learner and knowledge is tasty)!
i’m also working on a #graphicnovel (very early stages) that has a lot to do with the #environment, connecting with community and nature and what it means to belong to a place (also being #queer naturally) 😁
some of my other interests include, #gardening, #solarpunk, #sustainability, #crochet, #reading, and #diy!!
i’m looking forward to meeting people!

A new insect drawing, a lizard beetle. I am going to work on getting more variety in my insect collection, suggestions welcome!

#MothOfTheDay is a stunner.
You may recognise it from my profile pic, but one came to visit the #moth box last night. The gloriously beautiful #green and black mosaic of:
MERVEILLE DU JOUR
Griposia aprilina
Larvae feed on oak.
One of my absolute favourite moths of the year.

For my first “real” post I’d like to share this absolutely INCREDIBLE moth I found on campus a few days back. This is *Cosmosoma myrodora*, the Scarlet Bodied Wasp Moth. This striking moth is native to the southeastern US and is named because its appearance is believed to be mimicry of wasps— If I had to guess, likely a Polistidae species. This moth is a tiger moth (Arctiini) in the family Erebidae, much like the Salt Marsh Moth (*Estigmine acrea*) that is also native to Galveston, though I don’t think anyone is at high risk of confusing the two as they look very different. *C. myrodora* larva feed on *Mikania* genus plants called hempvines. Unless I’m mistaken, there’s an absolutely massive hempvine by the parking lot on campus. Maybe I’ll pop over there and see if I can find some larvae or pupae.

A jewel beetle, Castiarina sp., found by my daughter and subsequently named "Spinny Jr".

Naturalists have made the discovery in the misty rainforests of Far North Queensland where tree canopies reach more than 30 metres above the ground and many species are believed to still be unknown.
A new species of giant stick #insect has been discovered in tropical rainforest in Far North #Queensland.
Weighing at up to 44 grams, Acrophylla alta is believed to be the heaviest insect in Australia.

This one is called blue-tailed damselfly and (probably) is really smaller than this picture.

#SciArtSeptember Day 17: "Vector".
I'm thinking more along the lines of disease vectors. So, of course, I'm going with networked mosquitos in today's drawing.
For this month, I'm sharing in-progress and finished #inkyDays drawings in public posts on my Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/137994342
