GOOD MORNING, BREAKING NEWS!! The caterpillar that I thought was not gonna make it thru puberty has successfully eclosed and is now an adult!!!

#invertebrates #insects #moth
Moth with heavily patterned brown wings, presumably for camouflage against tree bark, but it's not doing a good job hiding against the bright blue lid of the container it's in.

It built the spikiest cocoon i have ever seen, and eclosed into a fuzzy chonky beautiful adult (Frosmoth...)

Extremely pleasant guest, not a picky eater, 5/5 moth experience, would raise another one

This past August/September I "fostered" a stray caterpillar that had wandered into my home. It was a cute fuzzy chonky thing, and actually started off as light green green (I didn't take any pics of it then), turning more orange and black as it grew.

Chondrocladia lyra - harp sponge (2019)

#invertebrates #seasponge #art #sciart
A drawing of a sea sponge that sort of resembles four harps standing back to back with each other. That's probably a bad analogy; I don't even know what the back of a harp is. Anyway, they're all radiating out from a central point. Thicker "branches" extend out at the bottom, with many slender vertical branches extending upwards from them, resembling the strings of a harp. The top of each vertical branch is rounded like a ball. Ink and watercolor.
