It eats ants

Ashe and Resha were shrunk down during Elana's daring escape. It turns out the ground around the DSO is dangerous!

Usually I choose 1 subject to draw each week in my Perpetual Journal but recently I had *2* cool subjects I couldn’t decide between so I drew both: a Black-headed Grosbeak & an Antlion.

Just a little nature nostalgia about my 5th grade teacher's science demonstration and a really cool insect we used to take for granted. I miss the little critters I used to find as a kid growing up in the country.

#dream: I see an #insect fluttering on the floor (an #alderfly or an #antlion or the thing at the end of #TwinPeaksReturn Episode 8). I reach out for it, and it starts to emit light from a #bioluminescent organ on top of its head. Its feathery #antennae cast shadows that look like a detailed (and annotated) pen-and-ink #drawing of the insect's own head. I get my phone to take a photo, but by then it's stopped emitting any light, and it's become a small spaniel which starts barking at me.

A giant #antlion (Palpares libelluloides), spotted on the eastern coast of #Naxos, #Greece.
