For #InsectWeek + #PollinatorWeek: Le Papillon bleu, 1916-7. Art by "Francois Angiboult," a pseudonym of Hélène Oettingen (1887 Ukraine or Venice - 1950 Paris). She also wrote poetry as "Leonardo Pieu" and novels as "Roch Grey," as well as ran an avant-garde artistic and literary salon!

Seeing as it is apparently #InsectWeek, here is a cool one that showed up while walking the dogs this morning. Known as a Velvet Ant, it is not an ant but a flightless wasp that has earned the nickname “Cow Killer” for its sting.
