Moths! ((o(^∇^)o))

I've decided to do "wasp exposure therapy." I'm very scared of wasps, but I know they're important, so I started leaving out a bowl of water and pebbles for them last year. This year, I've decided to sit with them. They like my shoes

Hello!! Did you draw your header/ profile pic? Both look so incredibly cool!!

I did! I'm a furry artist when I'm not bug posting (uωu )

I love your paper moths! Would you mind sharing how you made them? <3 have a lovely day!

Thank you! I traced them over photos on multimedia sketch paper with copic alcohol markers and micron pens for the fine details. Then I cut them out with regular old scissors, bent the wings a little for some dimension, and glued them onto my lampshade with loctite super glue. I have a tutorial with pictures on my blog, too, for some visual aid

My lamp has gotten a lot of attention, so here's a little tutorial!

A friend told me I should also clarify that your moth's wings will bend differently based on the species. At rest, many of them, like this grape leaffolder, sit with their wings a little downwards rather than up like a butterfly. (Sorry about the name typo in the first image!!)

Ebony jewel wing damselfly and common whitetail dragonfly! Members of odonata give me such a magical feeling, little bug dragons

One of their favorite spots is sitting inside this skull

Arthropods and a bonus snail!!
