Welcome to the first WEEVIL WEDNESDAY of #bugtober! Starting is off is a classic, the acorn weevil! The female uses her loooong snoot to drill into acorns and lay her eggs. If you're a forager or like to use acorns in craft projects, please check for small holes first, this weevil requests. Also pls don't take this one. This one is hers.

#bugtober day 2: camel cricket! Some people probably think the camel crickets were named because some of them live in the sand, or maybe because they have a humped back. But it's actually because they keep and breed very tiny camels. You heard it here first.

Here's #bugtober day 1: Spined Soldier Bug nymph. Very cute. Too small to pet, sadly.

#bugtober prompts "bug car" and "glowing fungi" ... realized after beginning to sketch that today's ballpoint pen was blue so ... that's why there's blue ink lol

a street scene lit by mushroom-style street lamps. a car that looks like a beetle follows a motorcycle that looks like a grasshopper

#bugtober prompts "punk butterfly" and "snail mail"

a snail giving a fairy a letter. the fairy has homemade butterfly wings made out of loosely sewn together patches. they pat the snail on the head

today I did the prompts "fungus fast food" and "ladybug wearing fungus fashion" #inktober #bugtober

a drawing of "amanita house," a fast food place staffed and visited by ladybugs. the building is an amanita mushroom, the light posts are tall skinny mushrooms, and the lady bugs are wearing little mushroom hats and skirts

#bugtober #inktober today's prompts were "praying mantis pose" and "fly pilots"

ink drawing of a person doing praying mantis pose (sitting "mermaid style" with splayed knees but both legs pointing to the left with their arms together and bent, pointing to the left as well). they are looking at some flies zooming around them, as if they might whack them with their bent arms. they are wearing a tank top and black leggings and sitting on an exercise mat.

warm up #inktober / #bugtober before painting my comic and then eventually my actual job lol ... prompts were "crying caterpillar" and "ants on a log"

a visual joke based on the north american kids' snack "ants on a log" but instead of celery there's a crying caterpillar, with dead ants (usually raisins) glued on top of it with peanut butter
