#they're crustaceans

[procyonloser]

The little bugs in Maggie's enclosure make me happy. Look at these little bugs. They're just living their best lives.

well... they do eat slow moving animals like sea sponges, and they'll bite anything that comes near their mouths, but their mouths aren't very big.

the only main detriment i see here would be that they live on the bottom of the ocean, so it might be difficult for an irken to care for them, considering the factor of water...

actually the isopod in the picture looks like it could be a giant isopod from earth; Bathynomus Kensleyi, possibly. (sprouts, @ask-paranormaloddities )

HMM... SO IT DOES NOT ACTIVELY PREDATE?

Given the Everything lately, I would like to offer you all a little moment of serenity I happened upon today:

Oh, to be a pillbug having a drink from the pond overflow with my little buddy...

[getvalentined]

We're back into absolutely ancient OC territory; I think the last time I drew K'moh was like 2006? Might have been later, though. Unfortunately, the gallery where I had all the original artwork of the character no longer exists, so I can't go check. Tragic, really.

K'moh is a male black widow spider (referred to as a "widower" in his society) and he has a lot of fingers, so flipping someone off does not look as emphatic as it does when a member of his mostly-mammalian staff does it. The mandible-bearing is an arachnid analogue, but non-arthropods don't really understand it very well so he just does both for clarity's sake.

today's invertebrate...........gnathia maxillaris

there is a plague of self-obsession on this guy

he's always gwibblin and thumming, always talking about how 'mechanisms' will change life as we know it for the better

and he always mentions how the 'new bumb' is coming in a few kneiks!!!

what does he speak of??? the new frump???? does he speak of destiny too??????

there were also some really good pictures but I didn't use them because the website they're from had some weird copyright stuff but I couldn't understand any of it and I feel like if I use them I'll be caught by Mr. Copyright and fined for unlicensed use of 5 isopod pictures
