Invertober days 17-21: European glowworm (well, a dragon based on it), Anna’s magnificent sea slug, yellow tube sponge, three-banded lady beetle, and strawberry squid!

[Image description: Five digital drawings.

Image 1: A wingless dragon based on the European glowworm. Most of its body is a pale peachy colour, except for the blunt-tipped horns, claws, and armour scales going down its back which are all dark brown. Its eyes are a bright yellow-green, as are the four-pointed stars on the tip of its thick tail and horns. Text below: Arthropoda • Insecta • Coleoptera • Lampyridae • Lampyris noctiluca

Image 2: An Anna’s magnificent sea slug, a sea slug with a blue and black body surrounded by a yellow and white “fringe”. Its antennae and cerata are orange. Text below: Mollusca • Gastropoda • Nudibranchia • Chromodorididae • Chromodoris annae

Image 3: A yellow tube sponge. It looks exactly as its name would suggest. Text below: Porifera • Demospongiae • Verongiida • Aplysinidae • Aplysina fistularis

Image 4: A three-banded lady beetle, a ladybug with five rectangular bands instead of spots, one going across the middle and two pairs at the sides. Text below: Arthropoda • Insecta • Coleoptera • Coccinellidae • Coccinella trifasciata

Image 5: A strawberry squid. It is red with bright green eyes of different sizes, the left being significantly larger than the right. Text below: Mollusca • Cephalopoda • Oegopsida • Histioteuthidae • Histioteuthis heteropsis

Glossodoris cincta 😁 Вид морских слизней, голожаберных дорид и морских брюхоногих моллюсков семейства Chromodorididae без раковин. Название широко использовалось для группы видов с похожей окраской, некоторые из которых не имеют названий.

He is wearing pajamas!

Scared. Can't articulate why/express properly. Scared.

Neurology appointment soon. Hopefully will do something.

I think I'm getting worse.

Please brain let me write my story I want to write.

Request: nudibranchs or other lovely marine life/creatures if you have the energy/want to send.

If anyone has advice on how to write with weird neurological symptoms please I would love to hear it.

Will definitely need to pay for an editor. Can get the core of it down, hopefully, at least.

Goniobranchus reticulatus is a species of colorful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. There is considerable disagreement amongst experts over the identity of Goniobranchus reticulatus. It has been widely reported from the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, but many of these records are now believed to be of distinct species.

Nudibranch Size comparison 

We’re used to seeing nudies in close-up shots, which can make it difficult to tell their size. Here is a pic of a nudie (likely from the family Chromodorididae) with a thumb for scale. 

NOTE: While this guy is tiny, nudibranchs range in size from 6 mm - 30 cm.
