today's invertebrates..........glaucilla marginata and porpita porpita

these neuston friends have started a little band together! sadly they haven't released any music yet because they don't know how to use any musical instruments or softwares

despite this they fight very ferociously to prevent anyone from using or even mentioning their band name in anything, so much so that I can't even tell you what it's called lest I risk getting immolated!

glorpiness rating: look-edible gummy
