A deadly embrace. #House #centipedes ( #Scutigera sp.) are fast-moving #predators common inside & outside homes where they consume #spiders & other #arthropods. They were abundant last evening and enjoying prey like #leafhoppers, spiders, & anything they could run down.

A drawing of a weird palm tree where each of the leaves is actually a house centipede. But green. There are 5 leaves disposed symmetrically around the truc who looks like a dragon egg, inside a blue pot. Alcohol markers and colored pencils.

Don't forget to feed your house palmtreepede!
This one is more of a rough sketch, I don't want to spend more than 30min on it and I don't have much energy today :/ but I would 100% like to improve the concept and do something better.

@iuli-b.bsky.social received the best poster award at #Morpho25 for her poster "Heads or tails? Sensory equipment on the antennae and the ultimate legs of #Scutigera coleoptrata"

I’m 1.5 hours into folding a new design of mine—you guys see it before Twitter does.
There’s still a long way to go, but I’ll post more updates later.
