Happy Boxing Day!

Hope you had a great Christmas if you’re celebrating and are enjoying your vacation otherwise. This is a little sneak peek of a new print I made recently of an alfalfa leaf cutter in the act of cutting its telltale half-moon cut in a leaf. I made a collection of prints to illustrate a little board book written by Lisa Jaffe about our pollinator friends in the garden. #InverteFest is hosting an anthology! 🧵

Another detail of my pollinator garden piece made of collaged prints, for Manufactured Ecosystems. This shot shows my tiny sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens (Toronto’s official bee). I took a little liberty with scale so I could actually get some details and yet show the bee in context of the flowers (purple coneflowers, Canada goldenrod, 🧵1/2
