This should have been my first sign that wandering the Glowing Sea was a bad idea. It wasn't the horrible radiation or the violent storms. It was the big, glowing bugs.

This was my second sign.

This is the result of my poor actions.

Invertober Day 24: giant Asian mantis

[onenicebugperday]

hi!!! found this guy today around verona in italy, really curious to know what it is

Hello!!! Definitely a sub-adult praying mantis...I'm thinking likely a transcaucasian giant mantis, Hierodula transcaucasica. They are non-native. Guessing this one is very recently molted because they can be pretty light in color but normally not quite this white.

I LOVE HERR I'm back from college now so I can finally stare at her for hours.

She is SO majestic

I'm using screencaps from SW:IV to study a few things– designing a shot, set design, digital painting, and developing a more realistic approach to animation character design. I really love this shot of Obi Wan-- from "too old for this sort of thing" Ben back to Obi Wan, Jedi Master, General Kenobi, total boss. (painted in Clip Studio Paint)

What would you say your favorite marine crustacean is? + some info on them if you feel like it

Giant Isopods are probably my favorite (see my recent post here),

A close second is literally any kind of shrimp.

Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina cf. cantonensis) and the Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus).

There are approximately 3,000 species of shrimp. They can be found in any ocean and there are even some freshwater species!

Cow sewing time!

Pink with polka dots was not the most commonly picked option but my grandma really liked the idea of a pink polka dotted cow so that’s what I’m going with lol
