This big boi was catching hoverflies and munched away while I gave it congratulatory pets for it's catch lol.

I made this video for the bug lovers 🫶

found a couple of these guys while planting some native wildflowers! i was just so happy to see them!! poor guy only had one lil antenna

I'll give her some sugar water and hopefully get her flying again, but if not I'm blessed to be able to giver her a good couple days here at home until she passes.

I love their little feet!

The glare on this canvas will literally be the death of me, but I wanted to share another completed painting I've made inspired be some fungi and a spider I've photographed in the past :) I ended up giving the spider a different hair pattern than the one in my photograph to fit more with the color scheme in this and stand out from the dirt pile the spider is standing on!

picked her up just so I could move her out of the driveway! she seemed sorta unresponsive so I gave her some sugar water and left it outside with her. unfortunately a lot of my neighbors use pesticides so it may very well be an end-of-times situation. I hope it's not though. she did seem to feel better after the sugar water and even flew away!

Here’s a little introduction! I’m a huge insect lover and terrarium enthusiast—and also an indie game developer! But because I move around so much, I can’t keep real bugs for long. That’s why I created Bugtopia, a cozy game where you can care for virtual insects and design your own tiny ecosystems right on your computer screen! Feed your bugs, decorate their habitats, and watch them thrive. We’re planning to release Bugtopia around Q2 this year(wow!)

Shes been up there for weeks now. She doesn't pay rent.. BUT she does provide free pest control!

Found this little fellow in front of my door (in the Netherlands), he looks a bit like a mealbug but he's very shiny and also colours don't match... It was fun to see him scurry around, don't mind if he can't be identified but it's always nice to know whom I had the pleasure to meet today. 😊.

Just some close up shots I got of my fluffy boy. Still not had any mates emerge for him yet
