Royal red prawn, on tonight’s menu. This is a deep sea (500metres) prawn, very fragile and sweet, they have been fished in Wollongong. I haven’t work with them much before as they are mostly sold peeled, but this morning I could get them whole. Thanks Alex from @sydneyfishmarket for recommending them to me. Alex is doing an amazing work at holding the fish market tour early in the morning. A must go for any seafood lovers as he’s sooooo passionate about Australian seafood. - @moxherestaurant on Instagram

A Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) found alongside the golf cart path at our study site. These large, brightly colored lizards are venomous and can be found across most of western and southern Arizona. Gila monsters are slow moving and feed on nestling birds and mammals, eggs of birds and reptiles, lizards, and carrion. They are diurnal (active in daytime) during the spring and fall, and nocturnal (active at night) during the hot summer months. - @uaherpetology on Instagram

Arquitectura primitiva. Molusco Poliplacoforos de la especie Chiton cumingsi, Comúnmente llamado Quiton de anillos o Apretador de anillos. Estos animales se caracterizan por una forma oval alargada, comprimida dorsoventralmente, ocho placas calcáreas que la cubren y protegen. Otro dato interesante de esta clase de molusco es que fueron muy importante para nuestros de pueblos originarios que habitaron la costa chilena sirviendo de alimento y como moneda de cambio con grupos del altiplano.

💫 Resilencia a lo Codium 🍃 . . Codium es una macroalga verde, así como con tubitos ramificados. Si la tocas, es como tocar algo gelatinoso compacto y en su superficie tiene como pequeños grumitos y es aterciopelada . . Nos encanta visitar la zona intermareal cuando baja la marea, y ver cómo la naturaleza se adapta a circunstancias temporales, y también a cambios perennes, segun el caso ☝🏻 . . Me quedé viendo a Codium y vi cómo fluía el agua (swipe ➡️). Codium se paseaba con el vaivén del agua exponiéndose al sol, teniendo una deshidratación temporal y otros factores que son circunstanciales para su especie . . Me hizo pensar los varios momentos que he vivido durante covid: un poco triste, frustrada y desanimada por cambios inesperados. Pero también me sentí agradecida porque a pesar de la marea baja que vivía, el agua siguió fluyendo con ideas y otras maneras de crecer en varios aspectos . . Resilencia tipo Codium es adaptarnos a estos cambios sean o no temporales. A pesar de haber pasado una bajamar muy larga, la marea está ya subiendo poco a poco, fluyendo como solo el agua sabe hacer . . La mejor parte es que aprendimos montón, y ya estamos más preparados para los siguientes cambios de marea que se vengan 😊💙 . . . . . . . #AmiguitosdelOceano #Codium #resilencia - @amiguitosoceano on Instagram
CHITÓN - Chiton magnificus Estos moluscos poseen un cuerpo de forma ovoide, recubierto por 8 placas de color negro o verde oscuro uniforme en su parte dorsal, rodeadas por un cinturón que presenta escamas. En la parte ventral tiene un pie plano y ancho para adherirse con facilidad al sustrato duro. Puede llegar a medir 17 cm. de longitud. Habita en pozas del intermareal, bajo bolones, en lugares con alto intercambio de agua. Se distribuye desde las Islas Galápagos hasta el Cabo de Hornos. Es una especie herbívora que se alimenta de algas finas que raspan con la rádula (órgano alimentario característico de los moluscos). #chiton #fauna #faunamarina #molusco #bidiversidad #PuntaChilen #Chiloé #chiloeisland #surdechile #regióndeloslagos #Chile #picoftheday #instachiloe - @florafaunayfungidechiloe on Instagram

Giant African Millipede* - - Scientific Name: Archispirostreptus gigas . Taxonomy: Animalia -- Arthropoda -- Myriapoda -- Diplopoda -- Spirostreptida -- Spirostreptidae -- Archispirostreptus -- gigas . Status: unknown in wild . Features: This species is the largest living millipede that can grow to be 15.2 (38.5 cm) in length. They have a thick black body with red or sometimes black legs. Some individuals have dark red segments. . Distribution: They are native to lowland parts of East Africa, from Mozambique to Kenya. It is also found in Southern Arabia. However, they often can be found elsewhere in captivity because of their popularity within the hobby . In captivity: this species needs more space than its smaller counterparts, but they require the same needs. Keep in organic substrate with rotting material. It is also recommended to provide fruits and vegetables sometimes sprinkled with calcium for a healthy millipede. They prefer warm, humid conditions. This species requires permits to import in all U.S. states. Check your state laws/US Fish and Wildlife Service for specific requirements. . . Footnotes: *Fun fact, in Africa, they refer to millipedes as Shongololos! . 🐛Personal Notes🐛 I know it seems like Im skipping around but Im actually going through the Spirostreptidae family. Id love to go through every species of a genus, but honestly a lot of them are unverified and are only listed, not confirmed. Therefore, Ill be focusing on getting through recognized species in their respective families before making lists of potential species. Perhaps if I get to the end of verified species Ill do more pages on care and common questions. . . Have any species you want me to cover or have questions on? DM me! . . ~~Tags~~ #agigas #archispirostreptusgigas #giantafricanmillipede #AGB #gianttrainmillipede #millipede #millipedes #myriapod #diplopoda #fieldguide #millipedemanual . -Photo References: YouTube (user bugboyandy), https://sites.google.com/site/africanmillipede/ , Loreto Science, UNL entomology -Information References: wikipedia - @the.millipede.manual on Instagram

Texas Brown Millipede - - Scientific Name: Orthoporus texicolens . Taxonomy: Animalia -- Arthropoda -- Myriapoda -- Diplopoda -- Spirostreptida -- Spirostreptidae -- Orthoporus -- texicolens . Status: unknown . Features: This species is typically darker than O. ornatus with a dark brown/red body and red line segments. However, some places show them as being a light sand color*. Adults average at 6 (15.24 cm). . Distribution: Can be found in the states of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. Probably possible to find them in surrounding states in desert environments. . In captivity: This species prefers more arid conditions as a desert species. Keep in a less humid environment. Note, desert does not equal 100% sand. Still keep them in a substrate of mostly organic soil. I mix sand in with my other desert millipedes so its about 90% dirt and 10% sand. . . Footnotes: *I have a feeling the sandy colored texicolens belong to a different group, or it could be vice versa and the darker ones are separate. If anyone can clear that up, let me know! . 🐛Personal Notes🐛 Hey yall! Its been quite a while but Im back from holiday so its back to more millipede reports. Im having trouble finding research papers on lesser known species so if anyone has documents Id love to see them! Most old research reports are either outdated or they have been deleted. . . Have any species you want me to cover or have questions on?

Texas Gold Millipede - - Scientific Name: Orthoporus ornatus . Taxonomy: Animalia -- Arthropoda -- Myriapoda -- Diplopoda -- Spirostreptida -- Spirostreptidae -- Orthoporus -- ornatus . Status: least concerned . Features: This species has a gold colored body (hence the name) with dark brown segment lines. Typically has a dark brown head. Has been recorded up to 6 (15.24 cm) but on average is about 4 (10.16 cm) . Distribution: Can be found in the wild in U.S. states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as well as the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi. . In captivity: This species prefers more arid conditions than that of previous Florida species. In the wild, they prefer more sunshine than many species. Note, desert does not equal 100% sand. Still keep them in a substrate of mostly organic soil. Also to note, dont be worried if your millipedes disappear for the winter months; its completely normal and they should reappear in the spring! . . Footnotes: N/A . 🐛Personal Notes🐛 Sorry for skipping around with species! The reason Im covering the Golds now is because I just got several of my own! They are absolutely wonderful and my biggest species to date. They do spray their toxins much more often than my other species, but of course it isnt dangerous. In my tank, I experimented mixing my usual substrate with childrens play sand (so its non-toxic) to try and aerate the soil better. So far all is going well and they seem to enjoy digging into the sand. Also, as the holidays are here Ill probably be posting less for the next couple of weeks. At the most I might post every other week instead of every week, but it shouldnt be any longer than that. Thanks for reading! . . Have any species you want me to cover or have questions on?
