Its him,,, kirkirol

Finally got down a design i like! Hes slightly inspired off of affogato cookie i guess. Also looks like someone's edgy wolf oc lmao. He's a part of me and @pastelpillbug's Untitled Kingdom Story

Kirkirol is the husband of King Birrak. He isn't legally a king, more of a prince consort, but he still runs Lothidae with about the same amount of respect. Friend to Twig and Rabbit, as well as a role model for Queen Saccharine. He's very good at magic and always carries salt around (a magic modifier in the UKS world)

Why do i have so many suspicious guys XD kir isn't an antagonist though. If anything he's great help

Aaand, speaking of which, here's Moth! Also in the same world. He's working on a fighting style that combines magic and combat.

These caterpillars may anticipate wasp attacks using electric fields

Finding could be the first known use of “electroreception” for predator detection in land animals

An ability to sense electric fields may help some caterpillars detect predatory wasps, a pair of ecologists reports today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The observation may be the first known instance of land-dwelling animals using an electric sense to protect themselves from predators. “It’s a new example of how a fairly recently discovered sense is used, and it’s probably the tip of the iceberg,” says Eric Warrant, a neuroethologist at Lund University. Gregory Sutton, a biomechanics scientist at the University of Lincoln, notes the authors of the new study found the novel behavior just by examining the common insects around them. “They didn’t have to fly to some cave in Abu Dhabi to find this weird new thing,” he says. “They went as far as down the street.”...

In a parallel universe there is a moth with a tattoo of me on one of its legs and that's why I sleep so soundly at night

Top - Elephant Hawkmoth

Bottom - Peppered Moth

Just for fun sketches of two nice moths from life. Peppered moths are always weird to see, as if their natural habitat is only in biology textbooks.

Elephant hawkmoths are my faves, so big and pretty, like a tropical moth that's gotten lost and ended up in the uk.
