Using this as an excuse to share my drawing of a bobbit worm

@londondreamtime @futurebird exactly. My father, who is also a marine biologist, got me interested in #polychaete worms from an early age. We had to invent our own names, as they had only Latin names. My favourites were the green rubber band worm and the red rubber band worm 😁

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 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!
