Happy #InsectWeek!
Did you know: As an entomologist, all the fantasy-ish books I've written exist because I was tired of reading stories where insects were the bad guys/monsters/harbingers of doom, etc. In fact, I decided to start writing just so I could place them in a more positive light. They're also chock-full of fun insect related facts and tales!
In Apis, a scientist wakes up from a near-death experience to find honey bees living inside her.
In Wild Things, one of the characters lives with a colony of vulture bees in their chest.
roach: a love story is about a cockroach who wakes up transformed into a human, with another character who can turn into a swarm of flies.
I'm currently working on another one, but it's a work in progress so you'll have to wait to find out what it's about! (Okay, I'll give you a little preview: "For as long as Ezra has been alive, insects have been going extinct, and for as long as he can remember, they have followed him around, trailing him wherever he goes.")
All my books are available for free from my website, https://ater.neocities.org/books/mybooks, or from https://books2read.com/ap/R5ojKB/Liz-Boysha

Die Mosel hat heute morgen genau so eröffnet wie als ich hier das erste mal in 2022 auf dem Apolloweg war: mit einem Segelfalter. Es war noch früh, und ich entdeckte ihn im Gras.

This is a unique hand made cyanotype on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) with an image of grasses wildflowers with collaged lino block printed butterflies. The butterflies are both found here in Ontario: the yellow and black (with red and blue spots) Eastern tiger swallowtails (Papilio glaucus) and 🧵1/2

Banded Demoiselle #Damselflies at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust's Brandon Marsh on Tuesday, females with their green-bronze bodies and clear wings on the left, males with their blue-green bodies and banded wings on the right. Incredible #insects!

A #Scorpionfly is a scary-looking #insect, thanks to that long, mandible-bearing 'beak' or rostrum—and of course the male's tail, which inspired the name given to these creatures. The 'stinger' is in fact a genital capsule or bulb, bearing two 'pincers' (gonostyli); it's used for mating, and for defaecation (pic 3). Females (pic 4) lack this bulb. Feeding mostly on other #insects, usually dead ones, these #minibeasts are harmless to us Humans.

Absolutely delighted that one of my photos picked up 'Specially Commended' in the Royal Entomological Society's 2023 Photo Competition!
This pair of silverfish appeared to be clinging together inside a small, clayey nest structure. Some of their brilliant silver scales have rubbed off, which may indicate moulting was about to take place. As always with macrophotography, patience was a virtue here - fortunately they both stayed put while I lined up a shot which got both silverfish’s eyes in focus!
Congratulations to everyone else who picked up wins in this year's competition. Let's all support #insectweek and show some love for the little creatures that run this world!

Four #Butterflies in the meadows at Brandon Marsh this morning, all very active in the sunshine! Clockwise from top left: Marbled White, Meadow Brown, Ringlet, and Large Skipper.
Despite its colouration the Marbled White is, with the Meadow Brown and Ringlet, a member of the Satyrinae subfamily: the Browns. It is also one of my favourite Butterfly species!
