And the last of my hawk moths have passed. Now the net is free for my 400 worm babies once they’re big enough

A small rectangle of thicker black craft foam. The 2 larger, very yellow bees in the bottom are European honeybee workers, while the small, mainly black top left one is a female springbeauty miner bee, and the even smaller 2 next to her are males of the same species. They're all pinned with one plain silver pin through the thorax.

Pinned some bees today, also caught then accidentally released a hoverfly. There was also a small honeybee and craneflies

Gus’s who started big pinning! I scratched the hell out of them sense it was my first time and I have shakey hands, but it’s ok.

Thinking of making this my new place to promote my art, I do insect and skeletal taxidermy, but I only have one friend on here haha the only thing keeping me from deleting Instagram is my art though!

A gold Victorian style frame with large pinned orb weavers who are sitting upon large spots of gold leaf. There are also webs made of gold wire and dried flowers surrounding it all.

A piece I made a long time ago using real #spiders, wire, dried flowers, gold leaf, and a frame that I thrifted and painted! #art #artsky #bugpinning #ethicallysourced #disabledartist #queerartist

Pinned mantis I did a few months back
while it wasnt a "perfect" specimen, I loved working with him. This is my first attempt at any kind of bug pinning and I'm still so proud of how it came out

"The Proposal"
This was a piece made for my wife, using the flower I tucked into her hair the night I proposed to her. This piece is meant to emulate a proposal in much the same way. #giantwaterbugs #entomology #bugpinning #insectpinning #bugart #bugartist #insectart #waterbugs #art #taxidermy
