Halloween, but high fashion. by Wisdom Kaye
Behold the dazzling colors of the black-and-gold sapsucking slug (Cyerce nigricans). This sea slug secretes an unappetizing mucus to dissuade predators. When threatened, it can drop its colorful cerata, or leaf-like outgrowths, to create a distraction. This species is found in the western Indian and Pacific Oceans, where it dwells on coral or rocky reefs and snacks on algae. Photo: profmollusc, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, iNaturalistÂ

This whaling suit from Greenland, crafted sometime before 1834, reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Inuit people. Designed for the harsh Arctic environment, it allowed hunters to remain dry and insulated while navigating icy waters during dangerous sea hunts. Every element of the suit was carefully considered for practicality and protection, ensuring the wearer could focus on hunting without succumbing to hypothermia.
Constructed entirely from sealskin, the suit was both flexible and durable. Its central opening allowed the hunter to crawl inside, after which the hole was tightly secured to create a nearly waterproof seal. This simple yet effective design demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of materials and environmental challenges, turning natural resources into life-saving technology.
Today, the suit is preserved at the National Museum of Denmark, serving as a testament to Inuit craftsmanship and survival skills. Beyond its practical use, it offers a glimpse into the daily lives and ingenuity of Arctic communities, highlighting how cultural knowledge and adaptation were crucial for thriving in one of the worldâs most extreme climates.
Welcome back to Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is a 1.5-in- (3.8-cm-) long Hesslerides arcentensis. This Mississippian specimen was found in the Lake Valley Formation of New Mexico. While the locale has been recognized and studied for decades, such complete and well-preserved examples of this late-Paleozoic proetid is a rare find.
Welcome back to Trilobite Tuesday! Trilobites of the Harpetida orderâincluding this Harpes hamarlaghdadensisâare characterized by the broad, sweeping swath of their cephalic brim. The colorful, glass-like appearance of this 2-in- (5.1-cm-) long Moroccan specimenâs carapace is one of the defining characteristics of the prolific Jorf Lagerstatte deposit.
Whatâs the worldâs smallest cephalopod? That would be the southern pygmy squid (Xipholeptos notoides). Growing only about 0.9 in (2.5 cm) long, this diminutive critter can be found in the waters of the Southwestern Pacific near Australia. During the daylight, it clings to sea grass and stays out of sight. By night, it hunts for prey including small crustaceans like shrimp. Its lifespan is only about 150 days.Â
