Lately, I’ve been hard at work building my own fakedex and feel bad having nothing to show for it. Here’s a 4-way split evolution family, each evo is based on a card suit and an insect order that have larvae! Visually inspired by particular families as well :]

#hopefully when I finish redesigning all my old mons I can post them! I've been on this kick for weeks #pokemon #fakemon #fake pokemon #fakemon design #creature design #bugs #insects #super duper happy with how these guys came out!! #my art #alker region #yes of course I made them bugs....how could I resist...... #love how these just so happen to be the 4 largest order of insects i think(?) #hymenoptera #lepidoptera #coleoptera #diptera #chalcicidae #saturniidae #ulidiidae #curculionidae #the names are super unsubtle #anyways ENJOY!! hopefully I can do more of these low effort kind of teasers until I figure out a nice format to post these guys in #like with pokedex information and everything #stats galore yippee!! #bogleech

[ask meme]

#sasha answers #ask meme #kerfluffel #i'm pretty good at some local insects especially lepidoptera (they r my faves) #and Some hemiptera. but i should get better at other orders.... #heteroptera orthoptera and mantodea would be good places to start i think. #cause i don't think there are that many different species of mantis or grasshopper around here and wasps and bees are just cool. ANYWAY #my latent interest in Bugs has been awakened tonight thanks for that (positive)

At a glance, you might think you can easily distinguish a butterfly from a moth. But take a closer look. There are colorful moths and day-flying moths that can throw you for a loop! Next time you come across a member of the Order Lepidoptera, use these tips from Insectarium host Dr. Jessica L Ware.

Learn more about butterflies in Insectarium on the PBS Terra YouTube channel.

SilkWings

In my headcanon of WoF, SilkWings are tall, elegant, passive dragons that resemble insects from the order Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths).

They are the largest tribe in Pantala, but are actually quite a bit smaller than most tribes in their neighboring continent, Pyrrhia.

Despite being much taller than their HiveWing hosts, SilkWings keep their heads held low to show consideration for their position within the hives. It's seen as a common courtesy to keep this posture around HiveWing superiors, officials and royalty, but is not required for standard citizens. SilkWings are taught this posture from an early age.

SilkWings come in any color under the sun. The whole rainbow at the same time, on occasion. Although black is a fairly uncommon color, it is still very possible, and is usually seen on SilkWings with a direct descent from ancient black dragons.

SilkWings are hatched with three pairs of limbs, like HiveWings; but their middle pair of arms become their wings during metamorphosis. During dragonethood, this extra set of arms is essential to staying safe as they traverse the webs they live in. However, when not climbing, they can often trip up the dragonets they belong to.

Each SilkWing has completely unique wings. Unless they're twins from the same egg, no two have the same shape, patterns, or colors. Some SilkWings might have trailing tails at the ends of their wings; like a Long-Tailed Skipper. While others might have short, rounded wings; like the Round-Winged Vagrant. Some may be opaque and bright, others two-sided. Some even transparent and glassy, like a Glasswing butterfly.

Unlike most other dragons as well, SilkWings have very short, round snouts; although their tongues are astonishingly long, and are designed for drinking nectar from large flowers and fruits. However, due to the HiveWings' dominance over their land, and the lack of most lush flora, SilkWings rely exclusively on HiveWings to provide them with the food they need through foraging.
