🐜 Ant Story by Jay Hosler

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Rubi is a cartoon leaf-cutter ant filled with stories and no one but herself to share them with as her ant sisters don’t talk. When Rubi meets another creature that does talk, it’s a game changer. Can the two work out their differences and learn to listen to each other?

What fun! Not only is this graphic novel packed with fun information about insects and nature, but it’s a compelling and adventurous story! It felt very nice to open my brain up to these different “creepy crawlers” and see how they function, along with an underlying plot point about how the world is much more complex than “good” and “bad” creatures. It all depends on your perspective!

Thanks @boyblud for the book!

I've been seeing lots of fascinating animals in nearby forests lately, so I'm doing some evening reading on local fauna 🦋

drew some more perns just now.. it's been years but i remember the wings on the covers of some of the books being insect-like and the text backs this up a little in places. i thought a variable wing morphology would be fun, the propatagium can be extended or relaxed similar to slats on a plane to increase wing surface area and lift at low airspeeds. here we have a light and fast blue (top) and a more robust brown (bottom)

#creature design #dragons #a bit halfassed but i wanted to draw more skin folds and wrinkles like a sphynx cat as well #considered giving them more insect like faces (faceted eyes etc) but i like the very classic old school dragon shape #here's a guy you would see on a book cover or perhaps airbrushed onto a van

I was recently extremely blessed in being able to finally see one of my “bucket list bugs” as I’ve started calling them. (Not a real list, as I’m never one to be organized…)

But a friend alerted me to the presence of this big beauty and J gave me a leg up to take a closer photo with my measly phone camera and subpar photography skills. I found some eggs she had laid on the wall and I scooped them up in hopes I can look after them. She hung around with her admirers for a good half hour before deciding she’d lingered long enough and flew off into the literal sunset.

Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia, largest moth species in North America. Bug haters, don’t interact!

I cannot believe people were so pissy about Assad’s casting as Armand, look at him —

The man looks like every homo-repressed renaissance painter’s wet dream - like 10/10 would paint him as Jesus or several angels into as many frescoes as possible.
