Here comes Octopus Month or week or whatever it is.
Hummingbird day AND vulture day?
Well hello there.
I felt like Hawaii had to be done this week after the devastating fires in Maui.
The Land of the Midnight Sun is the second to last state in The State that I am in collection.
👶hey babes!
Well, that’s a wrap on the lower 48. 🍊orange you glad? I can’t believe I haven’t missed 1 week on this project, can you?
🌞Figures the longest day of the year (in MY hemisphere, anyway) couples with the longest necked animal’s day🦒
Happy Father’s Day y’all!
Whelp welcome to South Carolina—the final state that’s got the white-tailed deer as it’s official mammal🦌
Props in North Carolina—the State that I’m in this week. They have a state marsupial. Can you guess which marsupial they named to represent the Tar Heel State? If you guessed the opossum, you’re correct. It was a tough choice, I’m sure, because the opossum is the only marsupial that lives in North America🌎
Whelk, whelk, whelk, conch you see? It’s World Oceans Day!
A sad sorry stack to enjoy for World Environment Day!
Hey lovers! This week’s state is Virginia—where the Virginia big-eared bat protects its citizens by eating insects and the dogwood trees have their beautiful blossoms in the spring.
🍩You didn't think you'd get away from June 2 without seeing a donut comic or two, did you?
Wait Dinosaur Day (part 2) on a #TBT ??
Welcome to the First State — Delaware! A silver fox and horseshoe crab pose with the peach blossom.
According to the calendar, today is Dracula Day. And of course, besides Vampire bats, what better blood sucking representation is there than mosquitos?
May 23rd is World Turtle Day—so enjoy some turtle and tortoise comics!
Well, here’s her last nibble of Nursery Earth Week.
Welcome to Maryland! The diamondback terrapin greets you with strong deeds and gentle words, amongst the black eyed Susans!
It’s Endangered Species Day! And you know what that means—let’s play the screenshot game!
🥚ThursdEGG’s Nursery Earth Week’s post is all about eggs!
Here’s a little story for you as we reach that I halfway point of Nursery Earth Week.
Here are some more animals growing up as we celebrate Nursery Earth week! Today it's all about our 8-legged friends who get a bad wrap—the spiders.
Whelp, May 15 is the first of 2 Dinosaur Days of the year. And what better way to celebrate the release of @dannajoystaaf’s new book #NurseryEarth than with dino brood parasites?
Happy Mother’s Day, everybody!
Country roads take me to the state that I am in this week — West Virginia!
Let’s uncover the last day of Amphibian Week!
Weirdo frogs for Amphibian Week!
Amphibian week continues on through the mire.
Amphibian Week croaks along with some more slimy animals—get to know ‘em!
Amphibian Week creeps along with a couple of ornery comics for you. Excuse them, the've got issues.
Amphibian Week hops along with some succulent frog butts. What’s juicier—the succulents or the common toad butts in the comic?
Hey now, it's amphibian week! So here's your first one—an axolotl meets a tiger salamander. The two are similar except axolotls just refuse to grow up. Their type of development is called neoteny. They reach sexual maturity while their bodies still aren't fully developed. Forever young. I wish you all are mentally forever young. Screw you curmudgeons (not that I'm a curmudgeon or anything).
Welcome to Pennsylania—where I was born and raised. The ruffed grouse is the state game bird (PA has no official bird) and man, is this thing hard to draw.
May the frogs be with you.
Oh hey there!
Whelk, whelk, whelk, we’ve made it to New Jersey. I know it gets a lot of crap for being dirty jerz, but there’s a lot of really great stuff going on in the garden state. Little mountains in the north, a big coast line (where the state seashell, the knobbed whelk lives), and a huge stopover for migratory birds and great parks and forests. Here’s to you, NJ!
April 26 is John Audubon’s birthday. He was a vile man. His name has evolved to represent birds.
🐧April 25 is is World Penguin Day. And since earlier this year, we celebrated penguin awareness day. In the winter, I have decided to feature one of the Penguins biggest rivals – the giant petrel. It’s one of my favorite birds because it looks so angry and is afraid to get its head totally bloody. And it looks like a tank when it flies.
The State that I’m in Saturday is New York. Hard to believe but there’s a lot more to New York than the big apple. But there is! Like bluebirds and roses.
Delivered (🪕with some creepy backwoods underwater grooves from @vernzaborowski ) to you is the 2023 Earth Day comic, which is about the Southern Resident Orcas that swim around the Pacific Northwest of the US. They’re a very isolated population that seem to be starving to death and unhealthy thanks originally to babies being kidnapped decades ago and now from environmental issues like water contamination and a lack of food.
It's banana day! I don't know why but it is!
There are so many ways to appreciate bats. From all the positive things they do for our ecosystem to helping with vocabulary. Appreciate bats today, for it is Bat Appreciation Day!
Welcome to Connecticut!
April 14 is #NationalDolphinDay so here’s one of my favorite dolphins doing what it does. Spinnin’!
It’s National Dolphin Day, everybody!
🥚I’m laying a last minute egg-related comic for you all to enjoy!
Hope you like Rhode Island! The harbor seal is RI’s state mammal and the violet is the flower (how many states have the violet? It must be pretty or something).
I want you all to hold me responsible for posting every day until October 8!

Ok
Bye!
It’s the tail end of National Beach Day.
🫣So I thought I’d peek my head out of the sand and post some comics about some beach engineers.
🍑🏝️of course parrotfish engineer with their butts, which is why I love them. They eat algae off rocky coral and poop sand. So much of the white beaches in the South Pacific were shat out the butts of parrotfish! It must feel so nice between your toes🦶
👕while I’m here, I guess I should let you know that you can get that first comic in my shop. It makes a handsome shirt! Linkinbio
New comics are coming soon—I swear!

Pre-order @dannajoystaaf Nursery Earth with the link in my bio—and stay tuned, later this week there will be a giveaway!
Ladybug, meet the wasp called Dinocampus coccinellae, Dinocampus coccinellae, meet the ladybug (or ladybird beetle, depending on your level of correct syntax). Well, maybe I shouldn't have introduced them because, as you can see, the wasp is a ladybug parasite. She'll lay her egg somewhere between the cracks of her host's elytra. Once the egg hatches, the baby wasp eats the guts out of the ladybird until it's paralyzed.
Once the larva has had its fill, it'll spin a cocoon around the ladybug's legs so it can pupate. All the while, predators stay away, knowing that ladybugs don't taste very good.

In nursery earth, you can explore the awe-inspiring lives of infant animals—from baby birds to bunnies to bugs— and discovered there a central role in Earth’s ecosystem!
🧬Preorder with the link in my bio🔗
💩Now about this comic—if you’ll notice, after rolling her ball of poop, the mom beetle actually poops into the poop, then lays her egg. This helps her baby get the enzymes it needs to digest the poop it’s about to eat!
There’s lots more crazy facts like that in Nursery Earth—I know you’ll love it📕

Since WV picked the black bear, which I’ll see used for Alabama, and the cardinal which are used for Indiana as their state bird, a mammal defaulted to something I haven’t done yet and all of the states—and that’s an insect: the monarch butterfly. It’s flooding over some rhododendrons, which is also the state flower of Washington.
As per usual, this is available in the shop for all kinds of merch that will benefit @aclu_nationwide

The African clawed frog has a bizarre relationship with humans. Besides being the first vertebrate to be cloned in a lab, did you know that they were the original pregnancy tests? Ladies, just inject some urine in them and they'll start laying eggs in about 12 hours (if you're pregnant). If you're not they'll just be mad. Well they'd probably be mad either way.

Spinner Facts:
Spinner dolphins are smallish dolphins that live in warm oceans around the world. They’re known for their crazy acrobatic pirouettes. They can rotate up to 7 times in the air before they belly flop back into the water. So why do they do it?
Well, I found a fantastic book called “The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin” by Kenneth Norris et al —and it’s chock full of great information. They think that the first, most obvious reason for the spinning is to get rid of parasites like remoras. Also they theorize that the spinning is a sort of exclamation point to alert other pod members of their existence. They also suggest that the bubbles made after the spinning, once the dolphin returns to the water, helps with sonar. Whatever the reason is, spinners gonna spin.

As we get deeper into spring try to watch where you step on beachy areas! If you don’t look down you’ll never know that you destroyed the hopes and dreams of a young family of shorebirds🍳
Piping plovers, for instance, are a near threatened species of shorebirds whose dreams are often crushed by our stomping.
