Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!

[Start ID. Three gifs of the same hand covered in approximately 18-20 African peach moths, roughly triangle-shaped moths about the size of the last digit of the person's thumb. The wings and bodies of each moth are, for the most part, thoroughly covered in a rich deep blue that shimmers with hints of green, with patches of bright matte orange near the top and edges of their wings, also dotting their faces and limbs. End ID.]

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

whatever. Go my hornet from 1 year ago

^ here's the full page (small as it is) also! i have no idea why the unfinished outline of kabbu is there, exactly, except that i've drawn them together before (his canon birthday is feb 14, and silksong was announced on the same day). i figure i might have meant to post it at some point, if i could make *green and gray* work in a blue-red-yellow-white color palette
#peridots-art#< been a while#hornet hk#wonder if i should change that to hkss (akin to utdr) or something? i'll keep it for now#hollow knight#silksong#not tagging kabbu though. </3#bugs#TEAM CHERRY IS EVILLL FOR FAUX-SHADOWDROPPING SS RIGHT BEFORE I START WORK AND COLLEGE.

The proletarian revolution will be upheld by the worker bees
#common misconception!! the vast majority of bees (as well as any groups of ants + other wasps which can sting) have smooth or lightly#barbed stingers. honeybees however—the kind of bee you're most likely to be stung by—have heavily barbed stingers. which adds ANOTHER#caveat wherein even honeybees don't die when stinging other insects; but the barbs of honeybee stings get caught in thick skin like we have#but venom is expensive to produce so it's. not like animals love using it for no reason even if they WON'T die from using it. which means#honeybee or not - this ☝️ bee decided killing a ceo was worth the investment. good for it#anyway#bugs#peridots-reblogs#just to note i don't have a source on the “most likely to be stung by a honeybee” stat 👍 and of course it depends where you are too but#this guy was in england. according to fantasticpestcontrol “a honeybee is more likely to sting you than any other bee in the uk”. dunno#where they got it from but i didn't make it up so. win#ANYWAY YAY CEO DOWN

Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling

Whenever I feel like hope is lost, I google "tarantula saved from burning building" and read all the stories about firefighters rescuing one of the world's most hated animals because they're someone's pet and it doesn't matter if you're scared of spiders or think they're gross, their lives have worth and they deserve to live just as much as any other pet
