Woodworm markings I captured in beeswax, from the same log I used to make the piece on my profile pic.

I never finished the project, but seems appropriate for my last post for this year's InverteFest. It's been fun, I hope next year I can share a finished work using this texture.

Here's the whole millipede from the preceding post. It's headed away from us (they always are!) so we can't see its face.

When they're on their feet, these guys are always in motion. When they feel threatened they curl into a spiral with their legs on the inside.

What you might see when riding a millipede as it zips across the forest floor.

We have a lot of these in our yard. They sometimes get into the kitchen, where they're chased by curious cats.

For a small collection of seen last week in southwest . Even more tricky to photograph than birds (for me!) so not full complement of species actually seen! Total amateur, but I think…
1. (CW from top left) common blue, black-veined white, small copper, speckled wood, wall & Provençal fritillary & 2. swallowtail, southern festoon & scarce swallowtail.

Oh, one more thing: Recently I was researching Andreas Kay (RIP) a bit, because since I saw his Flickr stream recommended by Draw A Box as a source of reference pictures for and I have been in awe flickr.com/photos/andreaskay/

Basically, I wanted to find out who owns the rights to his images now, and check in with them to make sure that using them as reference for drawings is ok, even if the drawings might be published or sold.

Ah, and because this is also possibly relevant to , c&p of a toot f mine from a few days ago:

I am becoming a bit frustrated with the lack of resources about drawing animals _other than_ mammals or birds. Can anyone here recommend anything that goes further than just the normal Dynamic Sketching classes? Books, websites, videos, anything?

I mean cats are cool and all but so are , & , know what I mean?

boosts welcome!

Yesterday at our Conference, I got to see 2 students with my own advisor talking about the first observation of the local coral NOT going into winter dormancy. It was so warm in the Long Island Sound/Narragansett Bay this winter that the polyps never went dormant. The students have been doing analysis of what the corals had been eating.

most of my fun I had with Octopoi though! Such endless variety of forms, so much to learn from drawing them :)

(These were days 81-84 of my 100 days of drawing animals.)
