Re-sharing this image for #BlueMonday . This is NOT a jewel wasp ( #Chrysididae ), but rather a velvet-ant ( #Mutillidae ).

I know, right?

Here's a leaf-footed bug nymph with a sparkly blue booty. Maybe this is a means of confusing predators? Juveniles and adults can produce a defensive scent so it could be warning coloration too.

Happy new year! 2025 is the year of the snake, and I am planning on various new snake projects this year to celebrate my favorite (and my own) Chinese zodiac. To begin with, here’s a bunch of snaky caterpillars! 💚🐛

This parasitic wasp (that looks like an ant) has different venoms that work on different potential attackers. Each predator gets its fair share. www.sciencenews.org/article/velv...
Velvet ants have the Swiss Army knife of venoms
A velvet ant bite like “hot oil from the deep fryer” delivers an array of peptides that inflicts pain on insects and mammals alike.

A type of damselfly known as beautiful demoiselle for this last year’s Salut coaster titled “Set Upon the Garden to Sigh and Sleep”. I love damselflies. They remind me of summer and being in rivers.

In Costa Rica I was deeply fascinated by those leaf cutter ants, they were so fun to watch & really abundant and successful! I have to make a sticker sheet design so they can line up on my tablet 💚 let me know if you like the idea as well!
