Die letzten Wochen war hier alles gefroren. Einzig ein Entwässerungsgraben war eisfrei, aber in dem gibt es nur Ruderfußkrebse. Darum habe ich ausführlich Copepoden fotografiert. Von dorsal und ventral

南三陸・海のビジターセンター用の原画。展示を見に行ったのも、もう8年前だなあ。ボルネオのキナバルの博物館用に描いた絵は、今、どうなっているのかしらん

基盤鋏角類解釈のメガケイラ類を内包する為に設けたのならまだ納得だけど、ハベリア類までだけを内包する為には正直余計な気がする。
ウミグモとハベリア類の関係未だによくわからないので尚更早計な感じがする。左近の解析結果通りウミグモ類が基盤的ならそれはもう「トータルグループ真鋏角類」だし、それから除外されたウミグモがまるで「”汎”鋏角類ですらない」とでもいうような構図になってる。

「Panchelicerata」の初出はどこなんだろう。

種のリストすごく分かりやすい。他の分類群にもこういう表が欲しかった。

Shiny orange armored lump of a harvestperson, short legs bunched around her, and a tiny black eye peering at you through a crook of a leg. Her large thick spiky palps are folded to cover her face

Harvestperson side-eye 😒

(the tiny orange lump, Crosbyella spinturnix)

系統解析よく見ると結構ぶっ飛んでいる。ウミグモとキリンシアの位置やばい。

podomereの順番が先端から数えてて混乱した。

トゥゾイアのWikipedia書こうかな。

Kritaを試している。
よさげ。

Google Docs spelling and grammar check feature has gone noticeably downhill in recent years... but it is seriously struggling with a document that is mostly in English but with bits of German.

下書き機能実装か。

An illustration of two morpho butterflies on a large leafed anthurium plant. One butterfly has its wings spread out to showcase a vibrant iridescent dark blue, while the other one has its wings closed and shows a brown underside with red eye spots and subtle lighter brown and gray markings. The anthurium is a dark green plant with large heart shaped leaves and lighter leaf veins. It is illustrated on a teal blue background.

Blue morpho butterflies 🦋💙

Calappa, a dome-shaped crab in dark color, seen from the front. Behind its body and in front, hiding its claws and most of its face, are phalaenopsis, moth orchids with roughly circular shape, in lighter colors. Black and white drawing.

Coenobita, a bright-colored hermit crab barely out of a white round shell, looking adorable. Under and around it are leaves of Macodes jewel orchids, dark leaves with white streaks. Behind it are stalks of flower buds of the plant. Black and white drawing.

Paromola, a crab with long legs and spikes all over. The last pair of its legs are small and pointing up like carrying a tray. It's carrying a whole plant of Paphiopedilum slipper orchid in bloom. The four flowers have pitcher-like structures and long ribbony bits that trail very far downwards. Black and white drawing.

Four Allogalathea crabs sitting on the petals of a flower. The crabs are shaped like lobsters with folded tail and black and white stripy bodies. The Vanda orchid flower is mostly white with black spots all over. Black and white drawing.

Happy Crablentine's Day everyone.

I know I haven’t post anything for my clay figurine projects for a long time, but I’ve never stopped working on bringing those little friends to their next stage! I have been busy with learning 3D and developing the first batch of resin figurines! I will keep you all updated💚

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

Historical illustration titled "The common objects of the country" from 1894, showing various detailed drawings of insects and mollusks. Main subjects include dragonflies with delicate, veined wings in yellow and blue-green tones, water scorpions, whirligig beetles, snails with spiraled shells, and gnat eggs. Each creature is numbered and colored realistically, emphasizing intricate body parts like segmented legs, antennae, and shell patterns. The image highlights natural diversity and is related to the keyword "dragon," likely referencing the dragonflies prominently displayed.

4億年前の最大の陸上生物、科学者たちにも説明不能の存在　新研究 約4億年前、恐竜はおろか樹木さえもまだ進化していない時代、謎めいた生物が風景の中で屹立（きつりつ）していた。その姿は、先史時代の巨石遺跡さながらだった。 - (1/2)

タイトルが煽り気味ですね．プロトタキシーテスは「科学者たちにも説明不能の存在」なのではなく，「既知の多細胞生物には当てはまらない独自の進化を遂げた絶滅系統」であることが論文中で明確に説明されています．

この方の4コマ好き。ていうかブルスカにいたのね。

A four panel comic. In panel 1, there are three beautiful blooming roses, and the text says "Roses are red..." In panel 2, there are some lovely violets budding and blooming, and the text says "Violets are blue..." In panel 3, there are some terrifying red and flesh colored plants with toothy maws and the text says "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyl..." and in panel 4 there are some cute hearts and the text says "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day"

Botany valentine. Another oldie.

あの発表で結構萎えたのもあるけど、元からArthrogirls再開のウォーミングアップとして気楽に描いたものなので一旦ここまで。多分。

Anthropomorphism (gijinka) based on the combat robot HUGE. The artwork featuring a tall girl with white and blue costume, a long spinning bar across her upper body, and two extremely tall wheels at her sides.
