Millipede under UV light. Many species of arthropods fluoresce, or glow, under ultraviolet light due to due to fluorescent compounds in their exoskeletons. At least one millipede genus, motyxia, is actually bioluminescent, meaning it can produce light on its own.

While very neat looking, Ranatra (Hemiptera, Nepidae) are relatively inept in the water, and move so slowly that sometimes other Hemipterans may lay their eggs on them. They are fierce predators however, eating other insects as well as small fish and tadpoles when they are able to catch them with their raptorial legs (Voshell, JR. 2002).

So this particular species of snake is SO COOL.

This is a Texas Blind Snake and they are one of the smallest and (IMHO) cutest snakes in the world. Also, counter to their name they're not all found in Texas, they can be found in large portions of the entire continental United States but primarily they're found in the southern states.

They're not completely blind as their name implies but they do have among the worst eyesight in the snake world and those two dots that look like "eyes" on their head are just sensory organs for detecting dark and light.

They eat bugs and are surprisingly good at it with a much higher than normal success rate per hunt than their larger cousins.

Depending on the genus they are also born pregnant and don't have true genders as we understand them.

Their eastern blind snake cousins have formed a communal relationship with the Eastern Screech Owl, in that the owls will bring them living to their nests and the blind snake will hunt and eat any bugs and pests that would try to infest it, food for the snakes, clean nest for the owls. 😍

Glub Glup the alien: Character sheet

I'm going to try out art fight for the first time this year(!) so I need an OC. Character info under the cut :)

Name: Glub Glup

Species: Green alien

Pronounce: He/she/they/it ect. (Glub Glup does not understand human pronounce)

Basic description: Glub Glup is a small green alien shapeshifter with a fascination with fish and other aquatic creatures from Earth. He can transform fully or partially.

Personally: Glub Glup is a 'fishaboo' who wish they had been born a fish. They do not know as much about fish as they think they do.

Backstory: Glub Glup is amongst a small team of scientists tasked with documenting all life on Earth. Glub Glup volunteered to document all life in water (the other scientists choose all life on land, all life in the sky, all bacteria, and all beetles). They do not know how intelligent humans are or how to communicate with them.

Fun fact: He took one class on how to shift an exoskeleton back in alien college and now thinks that he is an expert in shifting fish scales.
