Another 2024 print for #insertAnInvert: made for the #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt is crawler, about shellfish who can drag themselves over surface like the spectacularly coloured lined chitons (Tonicella lineata), beautiful, tiny marine mollusc of the North Pacific. I don’t usually make reduction prints but I think I might otherwise loose my mind trying to capture the complex patterns.

@alcootatooter also and just for good measure :awesome: #wildoz
"There are about 1000 species of #Chiton worldwide, Australia has about 150 species and 90% of these are native to #Australia. Most species are quite small (between 2 and 5 cm long). The largest rarely exceed 30 cm. All chitons are marine living, in cold water and in the tropics, mostly in #intertidal or #subtidal zones." http://www.mesa.edu.au/molluscs/molluscs_09.asp

The next shelled creature prompt for #InsertAnInvert2024 is a crawler - an invertebrate which can drag itself across surfaces. I cannot resist the spectacular lined chiton (Tonicella lineata) which have amazing, varied, complex multicoloured patterned shells. 🧵1/2

Next up in my 2022 favourite photos round-up we have a common chiton (Lepidochitona cinerea). This mollusc come in a variety of patterns and colours and I thought this one was particularly special because of its pink girdle that matches the pink encrusting algae it’s sitting on. You can see the polymorphism (the physical variety) of these guys on my website. I made a database of them!
