So weird it needs it's own phylum. Action of a velvet worm shooting slime to ensnare unwitting prey!

I sacrifice my boy Peripatus!! They're a Woodpecker, and a carpenter by trade (for the snacks lol) they have several assistants to build his architectural designs when hes too lazy to actually do his job (which is frequent) Their yellow locket is their first creation.

Baby velvet worm (Oroperipatus ecuadoriensis) from the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest. Don't let the plush toy appearance fool you - onychophorans are predators that ensnare their food by shooting glue. I really miss these majestic animals and hope to see them again in the future.

トトロTLなのでトトロカギムシを貼っておきますね。

トトロカギムシ(eoperipatus totoro)
ネコバスを思わせたため種小名にトトロとつけられました。芋虫のように見えますが、有爪動物というグループの一種です。平気な方は上記の学名で画像検索すると幸せになれる
