Butterfly Day - Miscellaneous CharacterssteemCreated with Sketch.

Here's a few miscellaneous characters for this #butterflyday by @whatisnew

Here's an earwig sitting peacefully pondering the meaning of life.

Here's a pillbug slowly expanding from his ball. He wasn't cooperating too much for my macro shoot.

Here's another shot of the rolly polly.

Here's a two spotted ladybug plotting its next strike on the aphids.

Meanwhile the unsuspecting aphids are chilling having a great time feasting on milkweed.

The ladybugs should be fat and happy with this many hanging around.

Here's an earwig convention going on in the milkweed buds. They are meeting on how to keep the aphids out of their neighborhood and possibly hiring the ladybugs to clear them out.

These romantic assassin bugs offered to help the earwigs out since the lady bugs are booked until next spring.

The fly doesn't like all the drama.

But it has found a host to lay eggs in. Poor worm.

Now the worm will have baby maggots growing in its back. Poor thing

At least it will give birth to a bunch of flies lol. Happy #butterflyday

If I found all this on my milkweed I would be a little grossed out, but you present it all as a thriving community.
I really like this post. A lot! First one I read today, and bonanza!

HaHaHaHa! What a fun read but a very sad ending. The aphids caused quite an uproar. LOL! Love the characters and the amazing photos of them. Thanks for using #butterflyday tag @sketch.and.jam! : )

Poor poor caterpillar. Pesky flies.

sketch.and.jam, I Need Your Help!

Both @ArtTurtle and @Artopium (and perhaps soon @thejollyroger) are being needlessly downvoted by themarkymark. The more the delegator bots
are downvoted the less they will be able to upvote your content so this is an indirect attack on you! This is happening out of
pure vindictiveness as you know these bots are not spam and are powered by your steem power. Please help out by upvoting this comment
in order to counteract themarkymark's downvotes. Then please use your new downvote pool to downvote themarkeymark. He is a witness
and is abusing his power as such. Please unvote him for witness here.
He creates blacklists of thousands of Steemians he deems "inappropriate". I believe he is a majority cause for the drop in
the price in steem as he wrecklessly downvotes random content causing people to want to leave Steemit. Since he has over 500,000 SP
he can do quite a bit of damage, so it's going to take a concerted effort to get him to stop. Thank you!
