#bug species

[patchworkmelody]

There are so many kinds of ladybugs! They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Here are some various species I used for loose inspiration. Consider poking around next time you make a ladybird :>

Plenty more under the cut <3

There are so many! And these are only a handful! I tried to keep the shapes basic. Note how even the antennae vary between species! I sometimes didn't add visible ones if the image I was using didn't show it. And all the underbellies were just picked from other colors, not accurate. For fun.

found an old google doc i made of my favorite bat species. you should suggest more species for my list pls

ID:

A post describing 6 types of bats as follows:

Northern Ghost bat

Angry face

Primarily eats moths and apparently likes to sing while doing so. Fuckin superb you funky little ghost bat

Desert long-eared bat

What's he so happy about???

Apparently they get scorpion stings to the face a lot but it's okay because they just don't care and swoop down to eat them whole (stinger and poison sack included) off the ground anyways

So actually he's probably happy about all the scorpion murder he commits

Pallid bat

Ears

Greater false vampire bat

Can apparently eat like anything. Bugs? Yes. Frogs? Yes. Birds? You bet.

Like straight up cannibalizes bats smaller than it.

Kind of a killing machine overall really

Wrinkle faced bats

Ugly but full of love

has a flap of skin they use as a facemask when they nap. Fancy.

Their weird skull structure lets them eat a wider range of food than most other bats. So that's rad.

Frog eating bat.

They eat frogs

Fun at parties. Always brings fun food (frogs)

End ID.

(thank you @friendlybat for the ID!!)

@theshitpostcalligrapher I promise to do a proper Etsy review when the occupants GET to their tank but I must show you how audacious the frame I got for you art is (my wife agreed to let us put it above the shrimp tank in the bedroom, which makes me indescribably happy)

#shrimps is bugs #theshitpostcalligrapher #we even got a colorful mat for inside the frame #as soon as the aquarium is cycled we’re getting SHRIMP #I’m very excited to do a species-only tank with them (and the snails that hitchhiked in)

Endangered Fireflies & Conservation

Fireflies are at risk of extinction due to habitat destruction, light pollution, and pesticide use. Recovery efforts started in 2023 for the 18 endangered species in North America. Almost 1 in 3 firefly species in the US and Canada are threatened with extinction.

Scientists have yet to prove the effectiveness of these steps due to limited research on firefly populations. However, there is evidence suggesting that human activities may contribute to the decline of fireflies. So, here's what you can do:

Turn off outside lights during nighttime hours

Allow logs and leaves to naturally decompose in your yard

Incorporate areas of water into your landscaping

Refrain from using pesticides in your yard

Avoid excessive mowing of your lawn

Plant native tree species in your yard.

Please take a moment to explore resources related to firefly conservation:

What is the best looking ant? The most beautiful good looking ant of them all?

(If you need ideas let me know I have many)

Do I really have to pick just one? There’s so many good ones. I picked a favorite but I also have like 3 runner-ups and even more special mentions. Sorry you’re getting 4x as many ants as you asked for!

Anyways! Number one… the absolute winner in my heart… is Oecophylla smaragdina. They’re just so gorgeous and their color palette is perfect and they have such fun body shapes. I also love it when ant queens look significantly different than their workers. The contrast is so pretty

…aaand now for the runner ups! First we have the green headed ant, Rhytidoponera metallica. They remind me of jumping spiders with how shiny they are

Next up is the silver spiny ant, Polyrhachis schlueteri!!! These guys are literally perfect. They look like little drops of mercury. Maybe I’m just biased towards shiny silver as a metalworker, but there’s nothing about this species that isn’t gorgeous

And last but never least, we have Polyrhachis trapezoidea. I’m already an absolute sucker for yellow, and these guys pull it off so amazingly well. This ant looks like it shops as Sephora and I love that for her

Alright bestie now it’s your turn. I need to know your opinions on ant beauty RIGHT NOW!!!

#ants #ant #bug #bugs #insect #entomology #ty for the ask I love you #my first thought upon reading this was honeypot ants since they can literally be any color #but that’s cheating and there’s so many prettier ones anyways #some others species I highly considered were #Pheidole viserion and #meranoplus bicolor #and turtle ants just cause they’re endearing
