I just finished this illustration for a chapter book I’m working on. I’ve been having fun making drawings where physical reality shares the stage with imagination and ideas.
In this case, I had to think what would come across as a “nice bug.” It could have been a lot of things. I settled on some dragonfly-type wings.
What is your favorite bug?

I like walking sticks, especially because I see them so rarely and they are so good at hiding.
walking sticks are very cool.
I sometimes picture a Walking Stick bug with a poor broken leg… Who has to use a walking stick to get around.
ha!
I like crickets, partly because it was my dad’s nickname for me as a small girl.
Definitely, dragonflies. They feel like companions.
Ladybugs! The dots equal years of good luck.
Lady bugs are nice and very helpful in my garden.
