so hello, everyone! thank you for following this blog! i never thought it would gain any followers beside a few who came here from my main, but it seems that you like my silly bug drawings, so i’ll do my best to provide more of them!

(and sorry for the long inactivity, and for abandoning inktober halfway through oops) 

“get over here and watch me draw biceps on this thing”

anyone else playing way too much pocket camp?

Inktober day 13: TEEMING

Ants.

Inktober day 12: SHATTERED

The markings on common mapwing’s wings look like- well yes, a map, but also shattered glass? If you squint?

Inktober day 11: RUN

Tiger beetles are the fastest runners of any insects.

Inktober day 10: GIGANTIC

Prehistoric ancestors of dragonflies of the genus Meganeura could have a wingspan of over 70 cm (27.6 in).

Inktober day 9: SCREECH

Those humans, always screeching for no reason...

Inktober day 8: CROOKED

Don’t worry, little buddy, you’ll get the hang of it!

Inktober day 7: SHY

Did you know that woodlice aren’t insects, but terrestrial isopods? And did you know that scientists were able to determine that they have personality traits, like shyness or boldness?

Inktober day 6: SWORD

10/10 entomologists agree that a sword fighting praying mantis would be the tightest shit ever.

Inktober day 5: LONG

Only a little under a year and a half ago, a new species of stick insect was found in China and declared the world’s longest insect. The captured specimen of Phryganistria chinensis Zhao measured 62.4 cm (over two feet).

Inktober day 4: UNDERWATER

Great diving beetle is one of the most common aquatic beetles in Europe. It breathes underwater thanks to the air that it collects in its wing cases.

Inktober day 3: POISON

No fun fact today, sorry! Sometimes being a bug is just... not fun.

Inktober day 2: DIVIDED

Butterflies as well as other insects can sometimes be born gynandromorphs, which means that they contain both female and male characteristics. The distribution of the characteristics can be a mosaic, but often their bodies are divided evenly, like in the case of this fabulous tiger swallowtail.

Inktober day 1: SWIFT

swift moth (also called ghost moth) females instead of laying eggs, scatter them in flight
