My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
"Cretaceous Blue Moon," a composite artwork from 2013. A gathering of male Elasmosaurus show off their strength by lifting their heads high out of the water during a bloom of bioluminescent plankton.

Oh these are actually my photos and video :D for the person asking about the sundew in the tags it is Drosera glanduligera. It is a really small sundew so it does make the isopod look slightly larger than it actually is.
Phreatoicidea isopods are so cool and underrated and I love them so much! They diverged from other isopods in the palaeozoic. There's another phreatoicidea isopod in the same area as the one in the photos that I have been desperately trying to find (definitely the most effort I have put into searching for a specific animal) for like 3 years now. Also, my friend and I are currently planning a trip for next winter into central australia to see another species of phreatoicidea isopods that live in arid mound springs!

And here is another, much smaller phreatoicidea isopod from alpine tasmania. There are also a bunch of records in alpine NSW but I couldn't find any there :(
hello I would like to show my favourite species of isopoddd

(pictures by trigonotarbida, from iNaturalist. idk how to post links with renames or whatever that action is)
it's called phreatoicopsis raffae and it's (along with another member of the same genus) the only member of the phreatoicidae (I might've misspelled that) to not be fully aquatic!
I really like it yayy

(gif, originally a video, by @syncaridans on youTube. it's longer but I can't compress it well)

Started off as a fur shading practice then ended up as a dasyuromorphia poster (hence everything being extremely not to scale). Love these animals :).

Doing a saltmarsh survey with her class and forgot to bring specimen jars... so she had to improvise. Dead crabs in her hair.
