Very glad it’s November 3rd, though that does mean #Sciartober and #Inktober are done. Determined to finish this even though I’m late! Northern Water #Snake for “scaled,” submerged limestone #fossils for “skeletal.” Full pic when “webbed” is finished. #sciart

Oh #mammals. I’ve been #teambird and #teaminvertebrate for so long, I’ve never really given you a fair shake. Someday! One inch square river #otter for today’s #Sciartober #sciart #inktober

Small #inktober/#sciartober sketches were supposed to let me chill about them. Instead I just use progressively smaller pens 🤦🏼‍♀️. Happy #avian prompt #sciart #kingfisher...!

Day 3, @GNSIorg #Inktober: physics. Alders are riverine engineers, both above and below ground. #sciart #Sciartober #river #alder

Keeping it small to keep ambition in check and keep #Inktober stress free (Just the drawing itself, I mean. It is 2020). Day 2 of @GNSIorg prompt #Sciartober #inktober2020: Colony, a family of beavers.

Slightly blingy #daphnia for day 17’s #microscopic (time is not moving slower for me, at least not as far I perceive it, I’m just still behind). #Inktober2019 #sciart #zooplankton

I went down an info rabbit hole trying to remember what #beetle I’d seen a box turtle eating once and found out there’s a genus of #Scarab beetles called #tumblebugs. So that made my day 16 #inktober choice easy (prompt “reptile”). #SciArt #Inktober2019

You know what’s a lovely word? Bioluminescence. Day 14 #inktober #lightningbug/#firefly (actually I’m a #beetle). #coleopterarocks #sciart

#inktober days 11&12. The Owl Limpet is a territorial #marine gastropod found along the Pacific coast. It grazes on algae, pushes other species off its territory, & has a blue shell interior with markings that look like a horned owl. #sciart #MolluscMonday

Today’s prompt is “amphibian” so I went down this rabbit hole while looking for an #invertebrate connection: “...the data show that toxin variability in O. sylvatica reflects chemical diversity in arthropod prey.” (1st reply) Refs to follow. #inktober #frog?#ant #sciart #socool

Day 8’s natural science #inktober prompt is archaeology, so I thought I’d see what #invertebrates might be important for the field. Turns out grain pest sub-fossils can be super important for understanding environment, trade patterns, and site use! #bionerd #sciart #beetle

What other #invertebrate could you choose for a “geology” #inktober prompt? These critters never cease to amaze me - teeny #freshwater stonemasons.

I love adult odonates, but these #exoskeleton leavings from nymphs spark so much wonder for small explorers. Where is the “airborne” #dragonfly? #sciart #inktober

That champion of #vermicompost, the #redworm. Thanks to the curiosity of our 3yo I can now tell you that these #worms create cocoons - babies emerge ~3wks later, depending on how warm it is outside. The things you learn when you’re asked Why 400x/day. #SciArt #Inktober2019

First #invertebrate #hero for #Inktober2019: the “flower flies,” or less romantically, hoverflies/Syrphid #flies. #Pollinators w/predatory larvae (some spp larvae can eat 200 aphids during their lifespan), there are over 6,000 spp worldwide in 200 genera. #Inktober #Sciart

These are some of the types of organisms I'm thinking of including in my #invertebrate #Inktober2019, plus the #redworm suggestion from @KaraHaaSciEd - what else you do want to see? Prob #spiders? #Starfish? #Plankton? #Inktober #SciArt #biodiversity #pollinators

Hey, all. #Inktober is just around the corner and my 2019 feed will be all about #invertebrates. Respond with your favorite unsung heroes (#terrestrial or #aquatic), and I'll try to fit 'em all in. (Bonus if you include why you consider them a hero!) #SciArt #Inktober2019
