Art trade for my friend, @/fallen_angel_nico_25 on Instagram of one of their adorable ocs!!! TwT thank ya soo much, hun, for your patience! I hope ya enjoy it and can’t wait to draw another one of your ocs again in the future!!! ✨ I will say that backgrounds are becoming a favorite of mine to work on cause I love with how this background came out!!!
This yote had a really severe injury to say the least. I’m thinking this was a kick because of the shape, size, and depth of the impact zone, followed up by a pretty nasty infection ! It was healing, though obviously not very well. The damage extends orbit to orbit. Pretty sure this is a Southeastern subspecies due to the size and shape.
I am taking part in the #artistsupportpledge #makersupportpledge

The Death’s Head Hawkmoth & 19th- century literature
It’s time for a little entomology in Wilson Library Special Collections! Today’s bug is the beautiful but bleak death’s head hawkmoth. Though there are three species of moths grouped under this moniker (Acherontia Atropos,Acherontia lachesis, and Acherontia styx)all three of them share the same signature skull-shaped markings.
This peculiar patterning makes the death’s head hawkmoth a particular favorite of writers and filmmakers. Although you might remember this moth most vividly from The Silence of the Lambs, the death’s head hawkmoth can actually trace its pop culture roots all the way back to the 19th century! Because of the spooky pattern that adorns its back, the 19th-century was particularly obsessed with all things Acherontia. You can spot references to this macabre moth in the pages of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Poe’s “The Sphinx”, and in this beautifully illustrated copy of A true relation of the apparition of Mrs. Veal ( 1883, located in Wilson Library Special Collections).
If you want to try your hand at finding the references to the death’s head hawkmoth in these works, you’re in luck! Wilson Library has copies of all three chilling tales in their special collections! So come visit if you want to learn more about these little lepidopterans!

This is such a cool and rare skull!!!! As you can see in the photos this cat had a pretty massive infection/cancer on its tooth that ate away at its teeth. This is a pretty rare abnormality to find and I’m excited to share it with you. This would be a great addition to any collection!
