Wanted to draw some cute psocopterans having lunch (order reunion?), but it became an exercise in learning how *not* to use layers. I was a skeptic of digital art, but it's so handy to be able to draw in the dark.
Foreground is a book louse, right is chewing louse, and in the back is asucking louse. I didn't have any species in mind, just looked at a bunch of pictures and aggregated to get an idea of what they look like in 3D (HIGH quality resource for bark lice: https://schemes.brc.ac.uk/barkfly/homepage.htm). It's really tough with tiny insects, you can usually only get the front and back in low res and often squished into a pancake on a microscope slide. So the question of the day for me is, how fat are parasitic lice? Maybe they could make slides with tiny indentations so we can seal a specimen suspended in a droplet of alcohol.
There definitely needs to be more philosophy of taxonomy. I'm surprised they haven't found more major taxonomic issues than the Psocopteran and cockroach paraphyly.

@jesus-crisp submitted: Hi, heres some parasites we were looking at in biology class recently and a beautiful butterfly i chased after for almost half an hour to get a photo! i believe the butterfly is a red admiral, the first parasite is some kind of louse and the second a human flea. they were really fascinating to look at up close!
Ooooh I so rarely get lice or fleas submitted this is very exciting! Thank you for sharing. And yes, the butterfly is a red admiral! Entirely worth chasing around for half an hour to get this photo :)

Saint of Louses
Disarmingly friendly and charismatic, the Saint of Louses possesses one of the largest flocks out of the more minor insectoid saints. Although he insists that there is no foul play at work, the enthusiasm of his followers far outstrips his actual worldly importance.
