My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Here's a study of Kingnites, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. Kingnites, is an exceptionally large (1m long) Silurian polychaete annelid.

No two #worms are alike: New study confirms that even the simplest marine organisms tend to be individualistic https://www.awi.de/en/about-us/service/press/single-view/kein-wurm-tickt-wie-der-andere.html
Molecular #CircadianRhythms are robust in marine #annelids lacking rhythmic behavior https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002572
"even simple marine #polychaete worms shape their day-to-day lives on the basis of highly individual rhythms. This diversity is of interest not just for the future of species and populations in a changing environment, but also for medicine."

A little polychaete worm larva.

A stunning Terebellidae worm dances under the microscope. It uses its many tentacles to grab food and they’re usually hidden in sediment, rock crevices, or in this case, in a sponge sample I brought home to ID.

Nature is so amazing! These are the branchiae (gills) of a marine polychaete worm (a Terebellidae I think). This is how they breath!

A little polychaete worm larva shimmying under the irritating flashing LED bulb of my microscope (which needs changing or there’s a connection loose?). Still cute though.

This totally looks like it should belong in the hands of a Klingon. But I /think/ it’s another chaeta (bristle) from a polychaete worm. Let me know if you think differently!
