Two more weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert) are done, finishing off the month of May.
The last two weeks include a pair of sea cucumbers who travel together once they meet and jellyfish who actually physically mate, unlike other jellies.

Here are the last 3 weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert). We have bees that find orchids so sexy they want to mate with them. Then we have sea hares who form mating chains and finally gender changing green spoonworms...

Here are the last three weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert) for #InverteFest. And the shirt that inspired this project.

This last week for #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert), I chose Osedax worms, which live on whale fall bones. They're one of my favorites. The males are teeny and basically live in the larger females, creating a reverse harem. Kinky.

I forgot to share the last two weeks of March's #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert), which was the kinky leopard slug hanging from slime and unfurling elaborate penis mating, and then twisted-wing parasites, in which males mate with females poking out of bees, then give live birth.

This week for #完全変態 I went with the penis fencing flatworm where the goal is to stab your partner with your forked penis without getting stabbed yourself. Sexy times.

For this week's #完全変態 I chose the house pseudoscorpion, Chelifer cancroides.

A new month for #完全変態 and I chose barnacles because it's my favorite animal fact that barnacles have the longest penis, relative to body size, in the animal kingdom.

I'm feeling better today. Not quite all better, but better enough to finish last week's #完全変態, which was the Japanese horseshoe crab.

I've started a new daily drawing project, although I'm behind because of my recent travel. I'm calling it 完全変態, holometabolism, or, complete pervert, because of a shirt I got in Japan with that kanji, and which Google translated as 'complete pervert', which actually isn't wrong.
