Makes a dash for it

from one side to the other

Small, understated

sun-bathing when bathing can

In sync

.

In their millions

ant queens emerge from their nests

and take to the air

Infestation

.

Moths in the dog food

hundreds and hundreds of them

culprits evicted

Queen’s flight

.

A single purpose

to start a new colony

queen ants leave the nest

Black vine weevil

Strolled into my life

kept my interest for a while

then strolled out again

Insect bites

Beastly legacy

of an Italian trip

helps us remember.

Ant day

 

A few days each year

queen ants emerge from their nests;

gull feeding frenzy.

1376. Dean Lane skate park (113)

I am doing another trawl through my archives and pulling out artworks that I think are worthy of posting, but for one reason or another got left behind. This piece by Drew Copus from 2016 features a naked woman (quite an unusual sight in Bristol street art) covered in his trademark insects.

This is a fine stencil piece which is slightly worn down by skateboard traffic. Right next to the piece, you can see the last three letters of ‘seismic’ which is the work of Jee See, and these two have collaborated in Dean Lane skate park more recently. I am rather fond of this piece – edgy and urban.

Little black beetle

gyrating circular dance

pond life acrobat.
