Scariest costume ever!

I ended up coming up with an idea for something spooky, so I drew it. 

The wasp is Trogus vulpinus, a parasitoid of Papilio canadensis and other spp. 

Obviously, the wasp is not quite to scale, but for the purpose of the theme, drawing a giant one makes sense.

I hope everyone has a great Halloween on Tuesday!

little baby. baby man. child. baby. little baby man. old world swallowtail (Papilio machaon) caterpillars are far from uncommon (and yet somehow this is still the first one i've seen all year) but a welcome sight regardless. look at them prolegs

this is an iberian scarce swallowtail, Iphiclides feisthamelii. i always find these guys hilltopping alongside the more numerous old world swallowtails, Papilio machaon, and all the fighting might explain why these are extra skittish. every spring i try to get a decent shot of one and always end up settling for the blurriest crustiest photo ever created taken from miles away. this time i pulled it off, but it took me about ten minutes of standing still for it to finally settle long enough. like girl calm down
