Bug Mention - Tumblr Posts

I hate this building, how do i end up here every time I end up fronting. Every. Single. Time.

And on top of that theres something following me and bugs under my skin. I dont want to do this today.

Hi! (:

In an attempt to exorcise my art block, I decided to practice rendering pieces with multiple light sources! And like frogs, bees something I seem to default to when bored. The result is something inspired by bee venom, something that is normally translucent, but ended up purple for this.

While I did originally glance at a picture of a bee to get the basic proportions down, I stopped using it pretty quickly and winged it from there.

Critique is always welcome! The ID is under the cut!

Redbubble - Commissions & Adopts

[ID: A digital drawing, showing a bee from the side. Its full body is shown, but it is not sitting on any surface. The abdomen is split into four hard segments, and it curls under the body slightly. It is a warm brown, with yellow stripes along each segment's edge. The yellow of the stripes is the same color as the fur on the bee's thorax and leg. Purple droplets come from the stinger, and arc around the bee in a circle. They glow purple, and the light shines around the stinger and reflects off the eye. End ID]

Ooooooh yeah bugs

!Spoilers for Solatorobo Part 2!

Also content warning for a mention of bugs ewwww...

Imagine when Red and the gang get to earth, they find these little bugs crawling all over the place. Yurlungur tells them that they are "Periplaneta Americana"

Red: "Peripla- What now?"

Yurlungur: "American cockroaches"

Yes, even after a world ending war with giant mechas built with alien tech, the cockroaches ARE STILL ALIVE. Elh is very much not happy with this bit of info. At least they're nowhere near as big as the insects in Shepard, but...

Elh: "tiny bugs are still bugs."

Well said lol

got distracted from my math test earlier (it wasnt timed) and i got talking about moths. no photos because i will cry if i look at most of the moths.

for context, i have intense mottephobia (irrational fear of moths) to the point that seeing a moth the size of my thumbnail causes me to activate flight/freeze (and technically fight, but that is just "scream real loud to alert others to danger" and then i am GONE.)

worst part of mottephobia is thinking SOME moths look cool but others are HORRORS

if god is real, they made the baphomet moth while fucking LAUGHING THEIR ASS OFF at all the future mottephobes like me. why does it do that. why does it become cthulu when horny. NO LIKE ACTUALLY THATS WHAT IT DOES LOOK IT UP. its HARMLESS and i am afraid of it.

but the venezuelan poodle moth? the rosy maple moths? those are babies. they are ok (i still think they should stay far away from me still please and thanks)

but when googling venezuelan poodle moth the "other people searched for" were luna moths, rosy maples, giant leopard moths, and cecropia moths.

cecropia can die. false eye moths. hate those fuckers.

giant leopard moths aren't that bad but you have NO RIGHT to be 3 inches.

moths are 1 inch or less. moth 1 inch or less are subjected to fearful put down with tissue. moth 1 inch or more are subjected to me fucking screaming the feral caveman death rattle that i learned i have because of moths.

moth antennae are some of the coolest things but they are attached to the most terrifying creature i have ever seen.

googles ai told me baphomet moths CANT bite people so i looked it up and there are moths that CAN bite. theres vampire moths. they look so fucking lame. i was unironically hoping theyd be red and black. nah they're brown and thats SOOOO overdone. (i am the biggest moth critic). at least they have a unique gimmick but brown?? lamest moth color.

SORRY WAS LOOKING UP MOTHS IN MY AREA BC ONE OF THE MOTHS I SEE A LOT LOOKS LIKE A BITER AND THERES ROSY MAPLES WHERE I LIVE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A ROSY MAPLE. WHY. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME, ROSY MAPLE MOTHS. IM ACTUALLY UPSET NOW. I've lived in rosy maple territory my WHOLE life and I've never seen a single one. found this rosy maple moth plushie and oh my god i need it.
