@frankashwood Very nice photograph of an #Onychophora species. This taxon is predominantly native to the Southern Hemisphere and possesses morphological characteristics homologous to the #Arthropoda. Depending on the phylogenetic concept (Ecdysozoa versus Articulata), the understanding of the relationship between Onychophora and the Annelida differs. However, they are always classified as relatives of Arthropoda. For example, within the so called #Panarthropoda.

Here’s the final print of an adorable, caterpillar-like blue velvet worm from New Zealand or Aotearoa for #InsertAnInvert2024!

Velvet worms (phylum: Onychophora) are named for their velvet-like texture and somewhat wormlike appearance. They are elongate, soft-bodied, many-legged nocturnal animals who spit slime to trap prey, somewhere between worms and arthropods. 🧵1/n
