The ground nesting bees have decided the weather is good enough to make an appearance. If you see these lil gals, please let them be(e)! They’re very unlikely to sting (I’ve bothered them so much, no stings) and are great for native plants! iNaturalist suggests to me these particular bees are the unequal cellophane bee, Colletes inaequalis.
neon house centipedes in your house at night (but it's okay because they eat neon cockroaches)
The rather large (by mosquito standards) elephant mosquito, Toxorhynchites rutilus, with jack-in-the-pulpit plants. Designed for a fellow lab member that works with mosquitoes. Though you may not be a mosquito fan, you might like this one - as larvae, they eat other mosquito larvae. As adults, they don't bite but instead both males and females feed on sugary substances.
Little Alien is a character I drew some comics for a while ago - thinking of returning to them! They're a tiny alien scientist investigating different bugs.
My research partner (the house centipede - Scutigera coleoptrata) with my favorite flower. House centipedes pay rent with labor, eating cockroaches and any other bugs they might find. They’re also clean little houseguests - they carefully groom themselves, one leg at a time.
Here are a couple of my lil bug OCs! Clover is a European honey bee and Dandy is a common Eastern velvet ant (which are not ants, but actually wasps!). They end up on a misadventure when Clover gets lost and needs Dandy's help to find her hive again.
when you yell at me this is who you’re yelling at:
Minewolf 🐺 🦗🧨 (Novacanis Liquidus Detonare) or Xittocoyotl "Large insectoid canines with a sharp explosion-proof exoskeleton. They carry and produce a blue liquid in their body akin to nitroglycerine which they eject to defend and attack. Whilst solitary they can group together like a wolf pack and excel at hunting.
Thanks to their unmatched sense of smell they’re able to detect hazards early, the odor of mines and other explosives even if in different states of matter, becoming incredibly useful to demine fields after undergoing training and domestication. This species can be avoidant of humans however but once trust is gained they may become loyal companions."
African woolly chafers, genus Sparrmannia, Melolonthinae, Scarabaeidae

Recently, I have been very interested in these small ancient creatures because of my current college project. And since I'm proud of these arts (it's been so long since my last traditional artwork -w-"), I decided to post them here, even though they aren't very related to my main content X"D.

Finally finished it! Anatomically "accurate" Sebastian!
(Image ID: Sebastian Solace from the game Pressure. He is much more realistic and fishlike. His head takes inspiration from a blue whale, silver spinyfin, anglerfish, sea snake, and other miscellaneous animals. His torso mostly human, save for the blue coloration and the three more sets of arms right above where his thighs would be. His naga tail has three more sets of armoured legs, and coils around in a snake fashion, terminating in a whale tail. End ID)
References and extra under the cut!
(Image ID: The same image but with multiple animal photos in the background. They are of a:
Blue whale,
Anglerfish,
Spinyfin,
Great White,
Sea snake,
And two mantis shrimp, one ventral and one dorsal. End ID)
(Image ID: Three headshots of Sebastian. The lowest middle one is the biggest. He has a neutral expression and his head is tilted slightly upright, showcasing the reptilian scales that make up his skin. The upper right one is him gently smiling with his eyes creased, while the upper left one is him enraged and screaming. End ID)
