I just love frostweed this time of year! Abundant nectar at the end of the season brings in tons of insects such as a Cisthene lichen moth (left) and a Pselliopus assassin bug, which was there for the hunting but seemed uninterested in this moth. Hill country, Texas.

Macro scene of a white aster against a blurry forest canopy and deep blue sky in the background. Two insects stand facing the nearest floret, a small orange and yellow moth with its proboscis sunk deep into a nectar tube, and a clownlike orange and black bug with beady black eyes and striped legs and antennae.

Milkweed Munchers
I spent a lot of time this year observing the many insects that use milkweed as a host plant.
#comics #milkweed #bugs #insects #art

5 panel single page comic made for Mini Comic Monday. Milkweed Munchers. There are 5 tall rectangular panels, each on depicting a different insect that uses milkweed as their host plant. Under the panels are word boxes that say the name of each feature insect. The 1st panel features two Monarch caterpillars, one saying “Delicious!”. The second panels has two Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetles, one in the larval stage and one and adult beetle. The adult says “Exquisite!”. The 3rd panel depicts Oleander Aphids on a milkweed stem. There are several small word bubbles coming for the cluster of Aphids that say “Yum.” In the 4th panel the bug on display is the Large Milkweed Bug. There are several juvenile nymph and one mature adult. The adult bug says “Delectable!” The 5th and final panel features the Small Milkweed Bug. In the background there is one in the nymph stage, the the foreground there’s one adult saying “Tremendous Chef.” Above the five panels there’s a title “Milkweed Munchers” on the left of the title there’s a milkweed stem in bloom and to the right there’s a stem of milkweed that has gone to seed.

Virginia ctenucha moths have become one of my favorite moths ever since one did the kindness of landing on me randomly. I think their colors are so striking and unique. I am such a big fan

Anyone know who this flower friend is? I’ve never seen them before

This female Common Merganser put the Whirligig Beetles in a flurry.
My bad, sorry.

#birds #bugs #nature

A duck-like bird with a red head, red beak, and grey body is swimming away from the viewer while looking back over her shoulder. She leaves a small V-shaped wake behind her. In front of her are many oval, silvery bugs on the water's surface.
The water looks grey with the overcast day.

These bugs just kill me. They’re both menacing and majestic .
