#invertefest — Public Fediverse posts

Cellar spider, a week ago, and tonight. Look what she's done! New blog post: https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2026/08/happy-event.html #VancouverIsland #Spiders #Arachnids #Invertebrates #InverteFest #NaturePhotography

In this together. Accidental triple exposure. Focusing through folded pages of a book, the camera caught the switch between screen saver photos. Hermit, tree, sky, marine life encyclopedia, tech; we sink or swim together. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit #Invertefest #AccidentalPhotography

#3MaterialsDrawingChallenge Day 26/31 Cold night, hot day. The St. John's wort (Hypericum) has mostly finished flowering. Field bumblebees and honeybees are visiting the flowers. #InverteFest 🐝 #naturejournaling 🌱 #naturesketching #coloredpencildrawing #FineArt #sketchbook #art #kleineKunstklasse

#3MaterialsDrawingChallenge Day 25/31 Discovered while picking beans. 😍 (Tettigonia viridissima) But if the model doesn't sit still, she shouldn't complain afterwards. 🤭 Happy #InverteFest 🤗 #naturejournaling 🌱 #naturesketching #coloredpencildrawing #FineArt #sketchbook #art #kleineKunstklasse

A 2024 invertebrate print for #invertefest: made for the deepest prompt of #InsertAnInvert2024, hadal - which refers to the deepest ocean trenches 6 km or more, it’s the headless chicken monster!

This is a lino block print of a strange-looking sea cucumber called Enypniastes eximia, the swimming sea cucumber, the pink see-through fantasia or the headless chicken monster!🧵

I thought this unique cyanotype which makes me think of rebirth was a fit for the last day of #InverteFest and New Year’s Eve. Made on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) with an image of pussy willow and wildflowers and an image of my linocut skeleton and collaged lino block printed moths and butterflies. 🧵1/2

The same species, hump-backed #beewolf (#Philanthus gibbosus) is common in my garden every summer, July through September. In some years, I've seen them as early as June, and as late as October. They visit a wide variety of flowers, preferring #Asteraceae and #Lamiaceae.
