Awww, thank you!! It might be a few years until I’m done 😂 but hopefully it will be worth it

My DMs are always open if you have banana slug pictures you’d like to contribute to my reference database :)

A dozen banana slugs for you today 🤗💛 Which one is your favourite??

This is part of a much larger passion project I’m working on, to illustrate as many colour variations of the Pacific Banana Slug as I can!! (within reason, obviously)

15. I love the little galaxies that appear when you look at Barnacle-Eating Dorids up close 🥹

(PS - see my IG for a new video about these cuties, too!)

14. I love wildflower season!!!! 🥹

13. I love all the nudibranchs I saw this week 🥹 (this is just a few of them… aren’t they good??)

12. I love making little shell mosaics. These are both from when visited Cuba earlier this month 🤩

11. I love looking at/photographing the inside of tulips. Seriously, I can’t get enough of it 😂

10. I love a good orchid!

These are all species that are indigenous to the land I call home (Unceded W̱SÁNEĆ + Lək̓ʷəŋən Territories, a.k.a. Southern Vancouver Island).

Aren’t they precious?? 🥹

7, 8, & 9.

I LOVE my fur family: Ella (doggy) and Nia + Máux̌va (kitties). They keep me grounded and make my heart so much lighter, every day!

PS - sweat bees is the second-largest family of bees, with nearly 4,500 species. Not nearly all are green - but several are! 🤩

6. I love sweat bees. Look how good and green 🥹

They really are 😭🥹🥹

5. Bears. I love love love bears 🥹

4. I LOVE A GOOD LICHEN

3. Dopamine dressing 🌈

2. Hermissenda crassicornis

I usually call them Opalescent Nudibranchs - but since several species share that name, they are also known as Thick-Horned Nudibranchs.

Aren’t they lovely 🥹🥹🥹

That’s because they are the BESTTT! Hahahah (I’m so glad to hear it!!!)

1. BANANA SLUGS, OF COURSE 🤩
