My little sis made one as a summer vacation project for her grade school science class w/ different local insects she found, neatly labeled. A gap remained in the layout. To mess with her, I inserted a properly sized piece of green bean fresh from the garden, pinned, labelled "BEEEN", in said gap.
That looks so cool, I would probably eat them like M&Ms tho, that's why they have the poster with "he can't enter" and my face at my local bug university :(
Hey man, how does natural history influence your game design? Pretty interested with the link between the environment and well.. video game environments.
The Houston Museum of Natural Sciences has an amazing live butterfly exhibit that will blow your mind. Took my girlfriend there for our 2nd anniversary.
We have the May Natural History Museum just outside Colorado Springs. It’s the largest private collection of bugs and butterflies. I first went back in the 60s, then again in the 80s as a Cub Scout leader, and now as a grandma on adventures with her granddaughter.
Wow honestly Bluesky is actually alright (for now). I feared the worst for the comments on this when I’ve seen the absolute fire pit of YouTube comments recently. Seems a safer space here dude. Hope you’re well
Shout out to my c. 1970 high school biology teacher Mr. Chavez, who found my required insect collection submission amusing (I just pinned pieces of several cockroaches and other unfortunates and named them creatively), though the "F" brought down my "A" exam average.
OMSI had a huge exhibit in town for the last month or two. It involved insects and reptiles. I didn't know Portland had an insectarium that's pretty cool. It's leaving this month for the Miyazaki / Studio Ghibli festival.
The first place I went when visiting Victoria, BC was the bug zoo in downtown. I usually get the creeps from bugs, but it was easily one of the most interesting learning opportunities I’ve ever experienced. The staff was excellent and so well informed.
Check out #SciArt on BlueSky. These artists combine their love of science and art in scientific illustrations. Some of them have amazing talent. You can thank me later.
