Spring is here, and “Don’t Squish! Good Bugs and Invertebrates In and Around Tacoma, Washington” is free to download here via Gumroad(no account required!) Did you know we have native carnivorous snails? How about the life cycles of insects that control pests in our gardens, or how to make habitat for them no matter how small your garden is? Fully illustrated and containing several years of observation and research, this zine about the little critters who share this city with us was funded by the Tacoma Arts Commission as part of the 2019/2020 Tacoma Artists Initiative Program. Indulge your curiosity as our world slowly wakes up, and get some ideas for bug-friendly gardening and pest control too! Big thanks to all readers, the Commission, our local libraries, and everyone who helped me over the years to make this a reality 🐞 ~ Anique
