The Middle Eastern Jewel beetle, Steraspis squamosa

This beetle is a member of Buprestidae, the wood boring jewel beetles. It's range includes Egypt, Sudan, Senegal, the Levant, the Maghreb, and Turkey.

This species of beetle bores holes into the tamarisk tree for it's larvae, who emerge as adult beetles. Since some versions of Osiris's death mention that Set imprisoned his body in a tamarisk tree, the beetles were like identified with Osiris. I think the green color probably added to that association as well. They show up as jewelry, and notably as decorations on the bed canopy of Queen Hetepheres, who was the owner of those lovely silver bangles with butterflies that you may have seen. They appear on a few objects from Tutankhamun's tomb as well.

Versions of the beetle sometimes were made of gold and used in jewelry, such as the bottom row of beads on this broadcollar. I'd actually seen this one before, and assumed these beads were lotus buds.

Amulets carved of stone such as calcite, or molded from faience, have also been found, as have mummified jewel beetles. Their elytra (wing casings) have also been found crushed up and used as a pigment.

Also here's here's necklace made by the Karo tribe of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia using the wing casings of Steraspis speciosa. A similar necklace of Steraspis squamosa casings was found in a pre-dynastic tomb in Armant.

Current design information on Silverlight:

So absurdly small by Cybertronian standards, squishy as it's armor is still soft and slightly flexible, curved finials that are still oh so telling but the curve will likely become more pronounced as it ages, plain silver armor with white optics (for now, as I can see Silverlight developing red as a secondary color bc that's Optimus's secondary color and was Megatron's original highlights color before he chose Decepticon purple as the war started. It's optics will most probably eventually darken into a blueish color, as yet again Orion blue and 'Tronus changed his from blue to red. But hey we can never discount whatever recessive genetics the Allspark loves to stash away in forged mecha. Will Silver have clawed servos or fangs? That's to be determined)

one thing i still don’t get abt cindy is how she can make clothes. i mean i know. understand. that her webbing is very similar to silk hence the name etc etc etc. and i get how she made her own silk suit previously like when she just got out. but it was clearly webbing. So how is she getting the color for the clothes. like. what’s up with that. like here. How.

Stewart Semple also did not hesitate for even a moment to get immediately into shilling NFTs during the height of that grift. No scruples, just good PR.

Guess which bitch now has room on its phone for instagram for the first time in like 3 years. This is only good bc now we can post art there again.

Not that instagram is nice to artists or anything. Just that our art tumblr is so very tiny and unused. Gonna probably have to clear it out somewhat when I finally get around to posting art.

peak adhd moment right here

you cannot leave me unsupervised with a fat thiccc juicy pigmented permanent marker

luckily this book is already really fucked up so i didn't really effect all that much

so hey thats not full self control but its certainly better than instantly with no thoughts in my head drawing over everything

tbh i was 10 when i did that and it was a golden paint marker, and this one lego i colored on actually looks pretty cool still
