#Invertober day 7 - Scaly-foot gastropod is also called the sea pangolin, and the incorporate iron in their shells and feet(?)

Marker and ink drawing of a snail, the body red, and the shell and scaly, rock-like feet are grey. The floor and thermal vents are green, yellow, coral, and blue color. The deep sea around is dry, streaky black ink with blue, green, and red behind it.

Day 4 -- Acorn

One of the more misleadingly-named seasonal fae found in the Fallows, the prolific thimble-sized "acorn spiders" are actually crustaceans.

I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.

The final illustration of a pink silkmoth with beige and brown upper wings and vibrant pink lower wings. Oh, and an incredibly fluffy body.

A close up showing the detail of the furry wings.

Cooloola monsters are weird, chunky insects endemic to South East Queensland, Australia. They're probably related to king crickets (Anostostomatidae), but not much is known about their evolution. The wingless females live permanently underground. #EverydayEnsifera
