Oh this is lovely!!

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.

The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.

The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

Me too, though since only so many can be out at once I'm trying to give my faves some priority on excuses to run around 🐛

I have Thought About It

what if I just named myself Moth Monarch for real. what if that was on my passport

Screenshot from Pokopia of two smiling human-shaped-Ditto players on the left, one with green hair and one with purple hair, and several bug Pokémon on the right: Heracross, Combee, Vespiqueen, Pinsir somewhat obscured, and Scyther. It's nighttime and there are flowers in front of them and a Pokémon Center behind, with hills and some trees in the further distance.

Pokopia has been ADORABLE and you know I'm making sure all the bugs are in outside houses so they roam the most!!

I've heard about it as the manga previously and would really like to get around to it!

Photo of two sketchbook pages in black ink and metallic gold. Left, a spanish moon moth with a tiny gold crown above its head flies up from a cup of espresso, one wing-tail still connecting to black swirls rising as if it has formed from the coffee itself. Beans and other black swirls fill out either side and accent text, which reads "And so I create" "in a flurry of ink & coffee - Moth Monarch". Right, a cartoon moth shown from the side wearing a crown and a confident expression. In one hand, they hold up a coffee cup with steam and decorative coffee beans and grounds swirling toward and around their head almost like a halo shape. In the other hand, they grasp a golden brush pen with black ink swirling out in large gobs past the lower crop of the shot. Golden rays emanate from around their head and end along a thin black rectangular border with thicker black border accents outside it. Small text at the top reads "The Art of Moth Monarch" and stylized brush-like text at the bottom says "Ink & Coffee".

Continuity: the last page of my previous main sketchbook & the first page of my current one. I think I know the theme for the next bridge when the time comes. ☕

oh my god I love????

Very strange framing and starting assumption.

watching Canadians around me rage and jeer at shit going on down south while Ford is Doing His Shit and they throw up their hands saying "well just vote better next time" has given me some type of stress response I don't even know how to describe. like my soul is viciously puckering

I know that feeling so bad, I hope you find your footing!

oh this looks lovely so far!

Sending you some wishes for that bravery. You deserve to do what you need to help yourself - and hopefully it gets you some peace of mind on what worries you.

It sounds like you had amazing care. I'm so glad. Get well soon!!

I hope it has a safe molt then good lord

can we please the website. where posts

Across the top: three sketch collection zines of Moth Monarch's art dated 2016-2017 (green with cartoon pill bugs), 2018-2021 (blue with assorted cartoon bugs), and 2021-2023 (orange with an excited cartoon moth in a flowy scarf). Below: an open spread from one of the zines showcasing lots of cartoon insect drawings. These rest on a metal table over a rough ground surface in the background. Watermark at the bottom reads "shop.mothmonar.ch"

Photo of a hand holding a teal card with three small enamel pins on it based on pill bugs - the top pin's design is curled up tight, the middle is partway curled, and the bottom is at rest. The card is printed with a tiny pattern featuring these same designs and says "Pill Bug Trio, Enamel Pin Set" on top with "The Art of Mary Capaldi" and logo at the bottom.

Photo close-up of a black bandana with a honeybee and honeycomb design printed in metallic gold ink.

Photo of three identical stickers of a celestial cecropia moth. Liberties have been taken to add a celestial flair to the markings, including tiny stars and moons in the wingspots and a more blue-purple color scheme overall. The stickers' lineart is a soft reflective gold color. They are overlapping in a horizontal row and resting on a blue and purple cloth with golden accents. Mark at the bottom reads "shop.mothmonar.ch".

"Little Spring Garden"
Friendly bugs and leaves and flowers - all the charming delights one hopes to see in a spring garden! I drew this pattern traditionally in my sketchbook, then cleaned it up digitally to share.
