It's my FIRST BOOP OF 2026!
As the wee robin posed so well for me today they were the obvious recipient.
Let the booping commence!

I painted this wasp solely because of its scientific name - Astata boops. I didn't even do a particularly good job of it, but it doesn't matter, because... Astata boops.
These solitary wasps are predators of shield bug larvae, which they paralyze then stuff into underground cells where they lay their eggs.
This painting is a female; males are about 98% eyes.

Well really. On reflection they might have been better to wait for a moment before attempting a boop 🤭
Woohoo! A boopable elephant trunk has been provided while I slept. Thank you @courtneysammis 😁

So here's a thing.
A couple of weeks back I noticed that my next BOOP! would be number 50. "Ooh!" I thought, "in that case it should be a big one."
The obvious* choice was an elephant, but despite having many elephant photos I didn't have a single photo of a suitable boopable trunk.
I mean.
Over two decades of digital photos. How is that possible?! smh
Anyhow. As a result boop 50 is a big but rare invisiboop.
* YMMV of course, but this was very obvious to me 🐘
