I have been doing all of my sketching in attempt to keep up with the EDM challenges...but today I took a day off, pulled some of the frozen specimens of bugs that I have caught over the last few days, and decided to get a few of them ready to be pinned and added to my collection.....I also did an entry in the bug-book to document a bit of the festivities.
The main focus was a rabid wolf spider that my wife and son found on our porch that was HUGE...it just so happened to be carrying a few (22 to be exact) babies on its back. Here's some pics...
