a close up of a large painting, with lots of butterflies. It’s the first time I’m done something very light-I wanted something with standout features and a vast expanse of white-but I need it to be lush, soft and velvet. I’ve done well with acrylics so far and tar gel…but oil paint may need to be called in!

As per the title, this is a ‘Cairns Birdwing’ butterfly (male I believe). I loved the colour and also the fact that he’s actually quite large (think length of your hand from fingertip to wrist). Enjoy!

This beautiful White-Marked Tussock Caterpillar stopped by my habitat for a photo shoot. I was very pleased with his pose. :o)

The Champion Moth is actually a butterfly. It’s a common misconception even among lepidopterists who can often be found lepidopting away in ignorance of this very pertinent fact. I started with the idea of opaque butterfly wings. Then I saw a pattern emerging in my work, a bad thing. And I should where it’s convenient always take things one step further with every project, so I had a vacancy for something new. It was then a case of figuring out what is the opposite of what one would expect. I was reading about how sparkplugs work and it was interesting stuff. Why they are the shape they are etc. Very interesting to me anyway. And butterflies could be shaped like sparkplugs with wings, that was credible enough for me. Then there was some minor photoshopping just to bring out the colours that were in the scan already. I don’t know how they get in there but I’m happy enough to use them because they’re an analog effect. I’d like to thank my always-obliging hacksaw blade who did a fantastic job teaming up with a piece of string to make a curved ruler sort of thing. When I was coming to the end of the drawing phase I was reminded of one of my favourite quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams: / It was a large mattress, and probably one of quite high quality. Very few things actually get manufactured these days, because in an infinitely large Universe such as, for instance, the one in which we live, most things one could possibly imagine, and a lot of things one would rather not, grow somewhere. A forest was discovered recently in which most of the trees grew ratchet screwdrivers as fruit. The life cycle of ratchet screwdriver fruit it quite interesting. Once picked it needs a dark dusty drawer in which it can lie undisturbed for years. Then one night it suddenly hatches, discards its outer skin which crumbles into dust, and emerges as a totally unidentifiable little metal object with flanges at both ends and a sort of ridge and a sort of hole for a screw. This, when found, will get thrown away. No one knows what it is supposed to gain from this. Nature, in her infinite wisdom, is presumably working on it. / No one really knows what mattresses are meant to gain from their lives either. They are large, friendly, pocket-sprung creatures which live quiet private lives in the marshes of Squornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped out and slept on. None of them seem to mind and all of them are called Zem. Bearpaw (a very nice person) wrote this incredible bit about it. / The moth/butterfly represents evolving, the spark plug represents not letting the spark within die, the flower represents a persons’ sense of fragility/purity. / Thanks Bearpaw.

Many have elaborate ring-like eyespots on the hind wings, reduced in some to thin, crescentic clear windows. / Antennae (especially of males) are obviously comb-like. The huge wings are cryptically colored and often have a hooked tip. / There are a few diurnal species, but most are nocturnal and readily attracted to lights. / Adults of both sexes do not feed and are short-lived, mating, laying eggs and dying in 3-5 days. / Larvae often change appearance between instars, and are as diagnostic as the adults, brightly colored and covered in spines or tubercles ( a few are hairy or entirely smooth ). / They are large and consume vast quantities of green material. Pupae usually rest in an earthen cell or (rarely) construct a cocoon. / Some larvae (Mopane worms) are eaten, others are pests on pine or blue-gum plantations (range of food plants very large) Most of 74 species in the region are abundant and widespread in subtropical parts of the country, although endemics also occur in limited areas.

In general, the Painted Lady is a large butterfly (wing span 5-9 cm (2 – 2 7/8 in)) identified by the black and white corners of its mainly deep orange, black-spotted wings. It has 5 white spots in the black forewing tips and while the orange areas may be pale here and there, there are no clean white dots in them. The hindwings carry 4 small submarginal eyespots on dorsal and ventral sides. Those on the dorsal side are black, but in the summer morph sometimes small blue pupils are present in some.

The Atlas Moth has the largest wing surface area of all moths. / It is so named because its wing patterns resemble maps. The Atlas Moth’s wings have triangular transparent “windows” whose purpose we don’t know. The wing tips are hooked and some say resemble a snake’s head complete with eye, to scare off predators.
