Our Summer rains in Tucson bring out awesome arthropods; here are 2 of my favorites I drew in my Perpetual Journal: Red Velvet Mite & Ironclad Beetle. See more on my latest blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/while-april-showers-bring-may-flowers

I keep a Perpetual Journal; here are my entries from 1, 2 & 3 yrs ago this week: a spotted Red Velvet Mite; Long-tailed Antlion; Plume Moth; Black-headed Grosbeak. In ‘26 I’ve seen only solid RVMs; 1 L-tA; a few PMs & no B-h Gs.

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.

The shape of this spent flower from our Queen Victoria Agave flower stalk (that I painted for my Perpetual Journal) reminds me of bacteria with flagella!
