Patiently waiting for this fluffy bean. The siblings have been beautiful, but I feel like they’re lacking something. I have a good feeling about this one.

I hope it stays a PPS but has a few other petals covering the face, it would be nice ^^

[Louinghaz]

Could anyone please confirm what carpenter bee is?

[Gamezelle]

Not good with insect ID but perhaps a male Valley Carpenter Bee (females are black) ? The hamster also have green eyes.

Today's growth is giving me October 2010 vibes ♥

I knew something about the BWolves this month felt familiar. How neat! I remember when that original litter came out, how nostalgic

Okay here are my guesses for the cats. I’m pretty sure they’re betta, not koi. I don’t know much about bettas but this is what Google searching got me

Super Red

Black Samurai

Orange Koi

Copper Gas

Blue on Fire

Blue Orchid

Has the Artist confirmed what the cats are based on?

@Doglike, thank you very much for sharing the species of chameleon beetles <3

Also, to sum up what community has guessed so far regarding the ponies - they are based on minerals and Mohs scale:

Feldspar || Fluorite

Talc

Pet's name: Thistle
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

not seen a lot of ppl mention this one but omg love the artwork n the linese r so clean, i wonder what this line is based on, wild guess but maybe cinema|photos transition to color? this one looks like seppia to me
also the horse is smiling nice

my tiny brain could not think of a concept like that but holy cow is that an amazing idea!!! i'm almost honored that you thought of something so unique from my horses.... my idea was simply just roan horses that had progressively more white markings on them but i think i like your idea better!

So now maybe someone has any idea what such horse coats are called?

As for the Syrian hamsters based on carpenter bees:

They have GOT to be bees! Specifically carpenter bees, I think!!

xylocopa virginica (i'm not super confident on this, there are a lot of brownish/black carpenter bees)
-snip-


xylocopa aerata
-snip-


xylocopa caerulea
-snip-

I knew the blue one would give it away hahaha. It was the inspiration for the whole litter! I love Carpenter Bees a lot XD

I hope you guys enjoy the last one when it finally makes its appearance :3

I need to know if the first one is xylcocopa virginica or if its some other species!! I love them so much

The first one is generic carpenter bee! I used several photos as reference so it could be any brown and black carpenter bee, however the other two are the exact species you mentioned!

Not good with insect ID but perhaps a male Valley Carpenter Bee (females are black) ? The hamster also have green eyes.
