#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

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like mosquitos arranged in a network diagram or chemical diagram shape.

Oh and I also saw a cool dragonfly that day! We have a lot of those guys because there is a rain collecting pong next to our house.

Cool guy! Somehow reminds me of the series Lexx... can anyone remember?

This print shows a great little pollinator in the garden: a transverse-banded flower fly (Eristalis transversa) on Echinacea purpurea or purple coneflower. Because of its yellow stripes, tendency to hover (it’s a hover fly after all) and love of flowers, this little insect can be mistaken for a bee, but it’s a bee-mimic fly. Like the bees, it’s an important pollinator and friend to flowers and gardeners. 🧵1/2

As described this is my  8” x 10” print showing the centre of a purple echinacea flower. The centre of the flower is orange with black outlines and some yellow bits and occupies the lower right corner. Radiating out are several pink and violet petals. The background is green. On top of the centre of the flower is a transverse-banded flower fly facing the lower right corner. It is yellow and black striped with translucent wings and red-brown eyes.

The transverse-banded flower fly and purple coneflowers are native to eastern North America. Each print is made by hand on assorted, beautiful Japanese washi papers and collaged to make the final 8” x 10” image, which are hand-embellished with posca pens.

boost_ok Re: iNaturalist getting involved with Google genAI...feeding our comments into things...

Due to continued silence from iNaturalist about everything, October 31. That’s my deadline. That’s MORE THAN FAIR amount of time for them to:

1) Have a proper outline of the project and exactly what it will be.
2. Have a solid opt-in to the project, so no users are auto opted in without their consent
3. Have added account deletion options from an over-year-old feature request to add ways to delete including without removing ID’s for others along with anonymization. If data loss is really such a problem to them (which I think it should be) not having a way to do such a type of delete should be TOP PRIORITY especially with all this genAI bs going on...already it sounds like some power users have fully deleted their accounts over this, tired of waiting.

- Signed, someone with almost 25k ID’s for others, and almost 4k observations, including some firsts on the site (including new species to science) and other rare reports.

Please boost because I don't think most users know what is going on. All this info is mostly occurring on their separate forum, which you need to make a separate account to join. This is part of the issue of lack of transparency!

A cave silverfish, that our team discovered. Not only is it a new species, it was entirely new *genus*. My observations were the first up on iNaturalist. The rest all belong to our crew which are all equally worried about iNaturalist getting into bed with Google GenAI. 

It is a pigmentless critter, with three "tails" which are facing the camera. Lots of little tiny sensory hairs, and they skuttle around quickly, like surface rock bristletails/silverfish (common names vary). Muddy rock background.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a tiny 4mm micromoth (about a grain of rice). Micros are known by their Latin name first, with vernacular as secondary.

LOBESIA RELIQUANA (Wood Marble) A tortrix moth; ergo it spins leaves to create larvae shelters. Hard to photo in focus with 6yr old iPhone because it's so miniscule!

Overhead shot of the aforementioned 4-5mm micromoth.  The metallic blue patch looks like a horizontal band across the middle, below which is a gold patch and below that, it looks more ferruginous.  Both antennae are held very close to its flanks.

Side on shot of a 4-5mm moth about the size of a grain of cooked rice.  It faces left. It is three times as long as it is high and it holds its wings tight against its abdomen in a tented position making it look almost tubular.  Its scales are a distinct marble pattern of blue, gold and rust in a very metallic sheen, each blotch edged in white. It has a small dark tuft sticking up just behind its head and an antennae which it holds close to its flank.
