Can we appreciate how @Prehistorica_CM snuck a lobopod (onychophoran) into the background of my commissioned soldier fly larvae to menace it?
Too many people are telling me they had never heard of velvet worms, aka the Ultimate Life Form

Tritonychus was an aquatic, Onychophoran-branch Lobopodian that lived in the tropical sea of Cambrian China. It had three claws on each leg. The holotype of Tritonychus is exceptionally well preserved in 3D, usually something only possible in the Orsten
