Took a little detour to some streetside pollinator gardens while running an errand today and was rewarded with SO. MANY. LOCUST. BORERS. 💛🖤💛

A yellowjacket was…No! It's a beetle! A beetle with an elongated body, black with yellow markings, that make it look like a wasp at first glance, feeding on pollen from aster-ish yellow flowers (idk I'm not a plantologist). It has long red-brown legs and very long red-brown antennae, as befits a member of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). Its black, oval eyes have "cutouts" around the base of the antennae, like the cursed phone front camera notch.

A head-on view of a locust borer feeding on yellow flowers (goldenrod, I think). The thorax has horizontal stripes of almost fur-like yellow scales. The antennae stretch way out to either side.

A locust borer stands with its back two pairs of legs on one flower cluster while grasping another with its front legs to feed.

Non-macro shot from above of two locust borers on clumps of small yellow flowers. Goldenrod? Asters? Fuck, are goldenrods asters? Oh shit, they are. Fuck.

macro photo of an Asian lady beetle, perched near the edge of a vibrant green thorny thistle leaf, showcasing its smooth, dome-shaped orange-red elytra covered in several distinct black spots. The intricate black-and-white patterns on its pronotum are highly sharp against the softly blurred, deep green background bokeh.

"Attuned"
Can Long-horned #Beetles detect more information than other, less "well endowed" insects (in that regard, of course!). I don't know. All I know is this little guy let me get pretty up close and personal!

two trilobite beetle comms for a friend! platerodrilus ngi and platerodrilus paradoxus

#SciArt #PixelArt #PixelArtist #aseprite #entomology #coleoptera #EntomologyArt

rendered symmetrical pixel art of a trilobite beetle in dorsal view. it has very long proportions, almost resembling a millipede. its black head and thorax are flattened into large plate-like structures with orange borders, while its abdomen is elongated with orange bumps lining it.

rendered symmetrical pixel art of a trilobite beetle in dorsal view. it has more robust proportions compared to the previous one. its head and thorax are larger and flatter, and the orange bumps on the sides of its abdomen are elongated into thin projections.
