Hello! I'm so excited to be here! I'm Esabelle Ryngin (Esa for short), a cartoonist/illustrator pursuing the dream of entomology outreach illustration! I've loved insects (particularly beetles) for almost as long as I've been drawing, and until recently, I had a pet Dynastes tityus named Bae.
Since she's passed on, though, I'm looking for more friends to occupy the lavish enclosure I'd made for her (planning/hoping to obtain some males to have bred her with, but that fell through). My bug buddies on tumblr showed me this forum! I hope to make lots of friends here talking about my favorite order of insects!
