Nature Journal Confession

This European Bumblebee might be the craziest thing I’ve ever painted in my nature journal.

When posting a spread with the peony there was a dead bumblebee laying on the page. So many people remarked on my “bumblebee painting” that I watercolored it in the exact position.

And that’s how I began adding insects to my nature journal.

Do you have any weird nature journaling stories?
