#velvetworm — Public Fediverse posts

Since I’m sharing 2025 work for #artAdventCalendar, another thing I did this year was make a large collection of repeat patterns, like this Velvet worm repeat pattern! Putting more invertebrate linocuts into surface design!

These adorable, caterpillar-like blue velvet worm from New Zealand (Aotearoa). Velvet worms (phylum: Onychophora) are named for their velvet-like texture and somewhat wormlike appearance. 🧵

& babies develop inside their mother until large enough to be born, in batches of 4–6, as colourless miniatures of the parents! Peripatoides novaezealandiae is a species complex of velvet worms in the genus Peripatoides, found throughout NZ. My print was made based on photos of P. aurorbis, but all the P. novaezealandiae have no morphological characters that distinguish them.

Ich will auch #Sekundenkleber spucken können! Das wäre in so vielen Situationen soooo praktisch... Abgesehen vom #Basteln und auf-der-Straße-festkleben, zum Beispiel wenn jemand zu viel redet, ihm einfach ins Gesicht spucken, und schon ist Ruhe 🙉😛

Day 8 #ArtAdventCalendar: an adorable, caterpillar-like blue velvet worm from New Zealand or Aotearoa I made 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

Making some new antipodean invertebrates for July, the subterranean month for #InsertAnInvert2024

You may not know the velvet worms if you live outside the tropics and in the northern hemisphere. There are 2 families of them: one in the tropics and the other, like my Lino block depicts, from the southern hemisphere (and countries once part of Gondwana). 🧵1/n
