Description Forest pixies, who live on trees, move freely in their environment due to strong claws on their feet. They can even walk upside down, as you can see here; this is pixie family emigrating to another branch. Pixies can't be spotted easily, their hair makes them look like moss or lichen. This is their unique mimicry method; elves pretend to be butterflies (see the elf specimen on the right side of the picture). Pixies are still active this time of a year; they eat a lot and give noisy parties. In the end of November they will fall in winter sleep. (For "Forest life" mini-contest of Sharpened Edge group)

I like that the ladybug gives me a concept of how tiny they are.

That's adorable!

Your style makes me think of the illustrations from the German children's books my Oma used to send me.

Thanks! I had just one children book from Germany - must be printed in DDR, I guess - and I loved it, even though I didn't understand the text (it was a collection of poems). I still remember the illustrations. There was a stagecoach on the first page

Nice! I wonder what poem the stagecoach went with...

What is DDR?

Deutsche Demokratische Republic the only part of Germany we could exchange goods with (including books) in this old times, when I was a kid, and Reagan was about to win the Cold War I also wonder what this poem could be about. Now I have Google translator, but the book is lost...

In a way it's just as well... Google translator is notorious for making mistakes.
