Inktober Day 10: Sweep
Today’s prompt is brought to you by an anteater waiter whose big tail ends up sweeping the floor as he walks. Now that’s multitasking!

No Inktober tomorrow! I’ll be celebrating some friends’ bdays! Fear not though, you’ll get a double post on Saturday! 😎👍

Inktober Day 9: Heavy
Hercules beetle grubs (which is what little Jellybean here is based on) are some of the heaviest bugs on Earth. Size-wise, some can measure up to 5 inches and weigh more than 100 grams. I love them so much 😭💖

Inktober Day 8: Reckless
My bearded dragon, Jean, does this thing where if she sees something she thinks is a bug, she will jump to reach it no MATTER HOW HIGH UP SHE IS! I think she thinks she is an actual dragon…

Inktober Day 7: Starfish
Back in Humboldt there lives a type of starfish called the horned sea star. Because of their brown bumps though, they have been lovingly nicknamed the chocolate chip sea star. How cute is that??? 🥹💖🍪

Inktober Day 6: Pierce
Thinking about all the bee love and wasp hate and feeling emotional. Maybe it’s not that wasps are overly angry, maybe it’s just that they have something so important to fight for.

Inktober Day 4: Murky
I think a common misconception about fish is that they are stupid. This is not true!!! Fish purposely seek out murky, fast moving waters because they know we cannot see through it. How cool is that?!!?

Inktober Day 2: Weave
These guys have many names, but most people refer to them as orb weaver spiders. They’re so strange looking, but are revered for their “zipper-like” webs. Some even produce silk that gleams golden in the sun. Truly beautiful.

Inktober Day 1: Mustache
Did you know centipedes are REALLY SCARY LOOKING up close? Maybe so, but their antenna are so low and curly, I can’t help but picture them as distinguished lil guys 🥹💖

See you tomorrow for Day 2 🕷️🕸️👀
