Invertober 2023!
Invertober is back! The (mandatory) drawing challenge where you draw an invertebrate every day. It's for everyone and *mandatory.* Last year they had no ants on the list! I was very upset... this year there is one ant... an improvement, still so much more room to grow!
Let's shoot for 10 ants next year.
OK here is what you need to draw each day for the month:
