Guardian of the Silverspots
I volunteer with a butterfly conservation group who is focusing on the endangered Oregon and Behren's Silverspot butterflies, and I was commissioned by the head lady to draw an oregon silverspot warrior ^ v^
((she's protecting the caterpillars from cutworms and slugs))
Also they only eat young violet leaves, hence the violets
shameless plug corner:
it's a really small organization so a little goes a long way, if you wanna kick in a few bucks to the project. We use it to buy soil for the violets and shore up the broken greenhouse lmao
but we released 471 catarpillars this year! And won a couple of pretty prestigious conservation awards, so it's like... we're doing stuff and it's working
Here's the link to the donation page, you'll need to select Behren's Silverspot Butterfly from the dropdown menu for it to go to our project

Thanks for reading my butterfly ramblings, now go outside >:3

THANK YOUUUUU
I actually brought up that I could draw at the "we did it!" end-of-season potluck, and all the elderly ladies were like "oh do you illustrate books?? Do you work for TV? How do you make money on art???" And I was like hahhahaha um. The internet
and there was one queer person my age there, and they just looked me in the eye and raised an eyebrow questioningly and I just nodded and they laughed
