It's a butterflydra! Today's stream produced a tiny butterfly-mimicking hydra. This specimen is ready to ambush a meal despite its cramped quarters.

Here we have an "Ambilius Flavoflos" (my terrible butchery of latin-based taxonomy meaning "walking yellow flower") and a couple of little dragonlike pollinators I'm calling "Bumble Pipwyrms" for now.

“Whisker Shrimp” by @emmalazauski | emmalazauski.com 5×7 inches, watercolor and ink

This little arthropod lives in exceptionally murky currents near estuaries. It uses its long “whiskers” to search for food in the sediment, and to distract larger predators from its main body.

Not her final name, but I've started calling her "Ma-mander."

She is, of course, a fictional species like all of the Bottled Creatures.
