The deafening roar as the world's oldest known animal predator approaches easily overpowers the squabbles of Tyrannosaurus taxonomists.
We know you have a choice of fossil news stories. Thank you for choosing invertebrate ๐

It may be a terrestrial #arthropod, and it may only have 6 legs, but isn't it pretty!

ALT Photo of the caterpillar of the Lackey moth. The caterpillar has stripes along the side of its body. The stripes are orange, blue, black and a single white one straight down the back. The whole body is covered in golden hairs

By gosh weโve done it! First round of field work for my PhD was a success thanks to the wonderful gems at Loxahatchee River District, Florida Atlantic University, Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation and the Douglass Lab at FGCU

People forget about the teeny tiny animals of this world, but they also have fabulous colours, patterns, and behaviours! Check out these amazing tidepool inverts @InverteFest!
#InverteFest #InvertsRule
Had fun times chasing marine #amphipods in the tidal pools of Gordons Bay recently. Love watching them explore their miniature world. And those eyes! ๐
Any IDs on these, #TeamInvert?

New manuscript is out!
Do you lay awake at night wondering "do upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea xamachana) have microplastics in them?"
...Okay probably not. But hey, jellyfish are beautiful and important and #invertsrule

I ran up on a pileated woodpecker breaking into its dinner today. When it flew away and I walked past the log, these lil guys were so loud on the leaves it sounded like rain ๐ #invertsrule

Progress on an illustration of an upside-down #jellyfish (#Cassiopea xamachana) for my current manuscript! And an article I wrote for an @MyFWC newsletter featuring Cassiopea as the critter of the quarter content.govdelivery.com/accoโฆ

Is it weird that my first reaction to this is wishing I could be that close to 13 sea pigs?! #marineecologistproblems #invertsrule

The skybridge to Boston Logan terminal A has pteropod and ctenophore art on the floor! There were probably some vertebrates too, but still! Very cool, and almost got me run over by annoyed travelers who didnโt get why I was taking pictures of the floor. #invertsrule

Carrying a little extra weight after Christmas? ๐๐
#Pycnogonids can carry hitchhikers, eg this branching #bryozoan colony on Pycnogonum gaini from #Antarctica
Their free ride is limited though as the #SeaSpider sheds it's hard exoskeleton periodically to grow

Started a new batch of #SeaSpiders today, had some species I hadnt seen before (mind you that's a long list)
This is Pallenopsis macronyx. These #pycnogonids are constantly having a #BadHairDay, with tufts of unruly "hair" on their back (2nd ๐ธ)
