Moths in Disguise: these are all just harmless moths that have developed the ability to mimic wasps, bees, and/or hornets

Moths are exceptionally skilled when it comes to mimicry, and there are hundreds of moth species that rely on that tactic as a way to protect themselves from predators. Their disguises are numerous and varied, but hymenopteran mimicry is particularly common, especially among the moths that belong to subfamily Sesiidae and family Arctiinae.

Some of their disguises involve more than just a physical resemblance -- there are some moths that also engage in behavioral and/or acoustic mimicry, meaning that they can imitate the specific sounds and behaviors of their hymenopteran models. In some cases, these moths are so convincing that they can even fool the actual wasps/bees that they are mimicking.

Such a detailed and intricate disguise is unusual even among mimics, and researchers believe that it developed partly as a way to trick the wasps into treating the mimic like one of their own. Wasps tend to prey upon moths (and many other insects), but they are innately non-aggressive toward their own nest-mates, which are identified by sight -- so if the moth can convincingly impersonate its model, then it can avoid being eaten by predatory wasps.

Wasp-Mimicking Moths: Pseudosphex ichneumonea (top), Myrmecopsis sp. (bottom left), and Pseudosphex sp. (bottom right)

There are many moths that can also mimic hornets, bumblebees, and carpenter bees.

Hornet-Mimicking Moths: Eusphecia pimplaeformis (top left), Sesia apiformis (bottom left), Paranthrene simulans (top right), Pennisetia marginatum (middle right), and Sphecodoptera scribai (bottom left)

Bumblebee-Mimicking Moths: Hemaris tityus (top and bottom left) and Hemaris affinis (bottom right)

Moths are some of the most talented mimics in the natural world, as illustrated by their mastery of hymenopteran mimicry. But it's not just bees, hornets, and wasps -- there are many other forms of mimicry that can be found among moths, and the resemblance is often staggering.

Moths deserve far more credit than they receive, to be honest, because they are so incredibly interesting/diverse.

A Belphegor for the fans!!!!

So I must admit she is VERY detailed but I did try to have them make as much sense as possible so here's a little explanation

Being the queen of Sloth, the chain connecting her nose ring to her earrings to her horns weight down her head giving her the slouching posture, giving her that always tired look.

The erect candle in her head is an arguably phallic shape as a call back to the sexual origins of the demon. The wax runs down her face reflecting that her candle has been burning for millennias (unlike the common Baphomets with clean candle heads).

Belphegor is the main manufacturer of sedatives, hypnotics and other pharmaceuticals so she wears a lightly colored robe which doubles as lab coat and a nightgown.

Lastly she wears a protective hairstyle, she lets her locs free-form and with simple styling with beads.

That's it for now, I'll most likely try simplifying her design in the future but I do wanna keep the chains and locks. Anyways for those who enjoy my redesigns and other ideas yall give me more motivation to keep creating and sharing!! thanks yall!!!

Man art block is bad (I say, posting normally)

I’m not sure why I draw them cuddling a lot- given that I am a person who doesn’t like physical contact JDHFHHDJ

drawing your favorite guys being silly is very effective at keeping The Horrors at bay

>thinks about how Gregor's kind of relegated himself more to the background in more recent chapters >thinks about how Gregor in the book kept hiding himself away to be less of a burden to his family, as his own health continued to worsen until he eventually died.

Oh no....
