Also, posting this really made me miss my #InsertAnInvert2024 in 2025 habit! #Invertefest
My husband & I are working through some differences between us & have been having many difficult (& worthwhile, honest, curious) conversations. Last night one ended rough, and he went to bed hard. I stayed up, drew this crab we saw together last week. Left it on the dresser for him.

This was supposed to be part of #InsertAnInvert2024 's Oct prompts but I am too fastidious about what I create so it takes me FOREVER to finish a piece 🙄 Featured is an #Endangered #GiantDragonfly #PetaluraGigantea. My BF says it looks like a movie poster lol That's kinda cool 😎

Aglantha digitale, the pink helmet, is one of my favorite new to me species of 2024. Tiny, delicate, and shimmery with rainbows. What more could one ask for? #insertaninvert2024 #inverts #jellies #salishsea

I chose tadpole shrimp for this week because the first time I saw one was during a retreat at the Arizona Field Station and I thought they were so breathtaking I couldn't believe they were real! What an animal blast from a prehistoric past.

The fly-speckled species was the one on the sheet but I was so enamored by the vibrant colors of N. orientalis I wanted to play with that instead!

Quindina limbata! A species that deserves to celebrate Father's day, males build the nests and perform care and protection for the eggs.

I've historically avoided looking at spiders given the arachnophobia that tends to creep up on me, and I found out I've been missing a really beautiful world of these Maratus Peacock spiders. I had a tough time picking what species to draw! What a delightful group.

Moss Millipede!
One of my favorite parts of this project is learning about some really cool species I didn't know about - and this is definitely one of my favorites so far. I love that they keep a little moss garden on their back.

My pink feather boa millipede for #InsertAnInvert2024 has a home! The log itself is based off a manzanita, the leaves are from an Engelmann oak, and there is also a slime mold, a fungus, and lichen on the log.

This month's theme revolves around myriads and habitats near home. My crocheted millipede is based off the pink featherboa millpede found in the mountains of California. Since it lives under logs I will making it a log home shortly.
