💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🔬🌸 Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (ぺんどら) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.

These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.

there's a mysterious
marine chelicerate
that's got nine eyes
but don't lose any sleep
those nine eyes
can't form images
of you or me or anything
in the deep blue sea

there's a mysterious
marine chelicerate
that's got spikes
on five pairs of thighs
but don't lose any sleep
all those spikes
just break up food
so it can eat

it's not closely related to crabs
it's not closely related to horses
and not even related to shoes

Round one, poll eight of the #CAMBRIANSMACKDOWN!
#JIANFENGIA vs. #HURDIA
Graphic with visuals of our fighters in the replies! Propaganda and boosts are encouraged!
#Poll #Tournament #Bracket #Cambrian #CambrianExplosion #Arthropods

Presenting: THE #CAMBRIANSMACKDOWN! A silly Tumblr style bracket. I will create a series of polls to determine which screwy looking Cambrian era critter is perceived as the coolest on Mastodon!
Polls will start at 7 days long.
Depending on how well-received this is, the polls may shorten in length.
Polls coming soon. Enjoy. This thread will be for bracket updates rather than the polls.
