Just wanted to share this illustration of pill bugs I made last year! Love these round little boys. #sciart #scientificillustration #wildlifeart #soilscience #isopods

As it nears spring we inch ever closer to seeing the return of #clearwing moths! They feed on and pollinate many native plants like wild bergamot, buttonbush, milkweed, and thistle. 🌿🌸 #sciart #scientificillustration #wildlifeart #moth #entomology

Throwback to 2010 when we found the first ever #cricket pollinator! My illustration of raspy crickets shows how they #pollinate an orchid species on the island of Réunion near Madagascar. 🌸 What other weird pollinators do you know? #sciart #wildlifeart

Unfinished digital painting of two male Lucanus capreolus stag beetles fighting on a branch. Have you ever seen a stag beetle up close? 🪲🔍

Wanted to share an illustration of the #ant woodlouse, P. Hoffmannseggi, I made last year. These little terrestrial #isopods live inside or near ant nests and are completely blind. #sciart #scientificillustration #wildlifeart #entomology #invertebrates

Falospongia ramosa is a species of #sponge made up of radiating fronds known from Middle #Cambrian Burgess Shale. I don’t see many early sponges depicted in #paleoart, maybe people think they’re boring? But I think they’re cool! #sciart #paleoentology

Another illustration in appreciation of terrestrial #isopods! ✨ This species measures 10–15mm and has a glossy exoskeleton with slight granulation. They’re often found near stone and brickwork. #sciart #scientificillustration #greatlakes #invertebrate

Started depicting lady beetles native to the #greatlakes region. Transverse lady beetles face competition from introduced species like the Seven-Spotted and Multicolored Asian Lady Beetles. #sciart #scientificillustration #biodiversity #entomology

Another lady #beetle! Elytral pigmentation for A. Bipunctata is highly variable. Typical forms have orange or red elytra with two black spots, and a black pronotum with white edges. #sciart #scientificillustration #entomology #ladybug

Happy #scorpionfly Sunday! 🪰🦂 Despite the name, they don’t use their tails for stinging. Adults can be seen between May and September feeding on dead insects and sometimes aphids. #sciart #bioart #natureart #wildlifeart #entomology

Ever seen a pink #ladybug? Coleomegilla maculata has a ravenous appetite for aphids—both adults and larvae feed on them, making them great #biological control agents for many types of crops. #sciart #bioart #wildlifeart #natureart #scientificillustration

An illustration of Tapejara wellnhoferi. Two #pterosaur specimens traveled from the coast to forage for food in a Cretaceous conifer forest—one specimen rests on a ginkgo tree. This is my first time depicting #pterosaurs! ✨ #sciart #paleoart #paleontolgy

Just wanted to share a sneak peak of a large paleoart piece I’ve been working on! ♥️ #sciart #scicomm #paleoart #paleontology

Not exactly finished with this painting yet, but here is my Cretaceous scene depicting Pachyrhinosaurus! A curious Montanoceratops can be seen sniffing the ground in search of food. #Sciart #Scicomm #Paleoart #Paleontology #Dinosaur

I visited North American Paleontological Convention 2024 this year in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 🦕 While there, I had the chance to visit the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History (University of Michigan Museum of Natural History). So fun to meet paleontologists and do some sketching! #napc2024 #sciart #paleoart #sketch #ummnh

Another sketch I made at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History! This time I’m depicting the bird-like Sinornithosaurus in motion. Hoping to make more friends at #NAPC2024 today. Would love to illustrate someone’s research/science figures! #napc #sciart #dinosaur #sketch #ummnh
