Fashion tips from nature. A very old comic that I still really like.
A comic called Fashion Tips from Nature. A dress with a monarch butterfly pattern is shown next to a dress with a viceroy pattern, with text that says "Poisonous? Share the news with bold stripes. Or coordinate with a toxic friend!" An owl moth with eyespots is shown next to shoes with eyespots on the toes, with text "Keep your dates on their toes with these terrifying eyespots." A row of tank tops are shown with text "These classic looks are timeless and practical." There's a leaf patterned one, a bark one, a bird poop one with a giant swallowtail caterpillar, and a tank top with a false head on it next to a hairstreak. A polo shirt with a yellow inflatable air sac is shown next to a greater prairie chicken and text that says "inflatable air sacs keep you party-ready." A hat with incredibly long king of saxony bird of paradise plumes is shown with text "Amaze your crush with your ability to sport this style, yet still move and find food."

Was pretty psyched to find an io moth here! I’ve done *many* moth nights in the pine barrens but rarely see this one!

A brown butterfly with two eyespots on a yellowish orange patch on it's forewing. This one also has several small eyespots on it's hindwing. Apparently those smaller eyespots can vary greatly and some have none at all.

Gracie says goodnight
A black and white dog with black eyespots lies curled up on a gray couch. She is fast asleep and her muzzle and big boopable nose look slightly squished from being so relaxed.

Darth! I have important news!
A black and white dog with big black eyespots lies on the floor, giving the camera a little cheeky side-eye. Her tail is blurry because it is in mid-wag.

Lime Swallowtail, Lemon Butterfly, or Chequered Swallowtail (Papilio demoleus). The eyespots serve as camouflage and in some situations, to startle predators. #ecology #wildlife #nature #butterfly

It feels weird to post this with everything going on. But--in case it brings a moment of joy or distraction: I got a dog
A black and white dog, with black eyespots, floppy ears, and a ridiculously cute nose looks up at the camera from a sitting position. Her look is clearly saying "I'm a very good girl, right? And... I deserve some of the pork you are roasting?"

For #InsectThursday, excited to share my first sighting this year of an American Lady butterfly; enjoying Philadelphia Fleabane wildflowers in our lower meadow. Note two eyespots on her hindwings. Painted Ladies have four eyespots.

the real bird is cool enough, why AI in fake eyespots and change the dance?
