‘The promenade between the British and French buildings contains six raised gardens with shallow pools - each with a bronze fountain and drain. The fountains feature male and female mythical figures (Tritons and Nereids), while the drain covers are of various sea creatures. Each of the six figures had a name: Leadership, Will, Thought, Imagination, Energy, Alertness.’ http://www.louisvilleartdeco.com/feature/RenePaulChambellan/RenePaulChambellan.html

Tiny hermit crab living in the beautiful orange and red shell of a sea snail.
This hermit crab has found a mansion to live in.

While pretty common in samples from puddles & birdbaths, I never tire of the antics of Ostracods - the hyperactive #crustaceans who also bear the nickname "Seed Shrimp" - they have a fossil history going back over 570 million years! They are a great marker in relative dating in #paleontology!
NEW PAPER OUT 🖤 another one of pure comparative #genomics
We investigated the molecular & genome #evolution of tadpole shrimps, a group of #crustaceans with a sharp morphological stasis. Also sequenced 2 new genomes 🧬🦐

A photo of the claw of a NZ southern koura crayfish. The claw is covered in lots of pink blobs with tentacles. These are a kind of flatworm specialised at living on crayfish.
One of the highlights of my day was when William Harland, a talented ecology undergrad here at #LincolnUniversityNZ, stopped by my office to show me his photos of temnocephalid flatworms. These distinctive squat tentacled flatworms live in colonies on NZ's […]

Close up of black crab on lava rock. Crab is covered with green dots. Here legs have a beautiful orange on them and look wickedly sharp.
This is a nice crab photo, but the remarkable thing is that if you zoom way in in the eye, you can see my reflection. It's subtle, but there. I'll post a zoomed look in the comments. #nature #crustaceans #love #photography #Maui #nokings #marinelife #smallwonders #eastcoastkin
Lobsters are amazing crustaceans who have been sadly exploited by humans for millennia, ignoring how remarkable and fascinating they are. 🦞

Love drawing bugs and critters!

Woodlouse are #Crustaceans in the #Order Isopoda. They are NOT insects!
With slightly under forty species here; it's worth learning to identify species. Common Pill Woodlouse (Armadillidium vulgare) seen in #Brighton by @pkster101.bsky.social has both grey and orange colour forms. #brightonwildlife

They were so plentiful along the coast that this part of San Juan / Santurce was named after them, as are many businesses and sports teams: #Cangrejos
Spent ages on this wee one - a tadpole shrimp/triops
Triops are freshwater crustaceans that have been around for about 220 million years or so, possibly the oldest animal species known. These guys were around when the dinos roamed the planet! 1/4

A reddish brown isopod with folded antennas sitting on a pine needle, above a dead leaf with yellow slime mold on it.
The isopods and other bugs are just a side effect of keeping a pet slime mold, but I quite like having them around.

"This bimetallic nose ornament, crafted from gold and silver, features two distinct sections due to the symmetry employed in its manufacture. One section, made of silver, displays two zoomorphic designs (prawns) positioned dorsally, facing each other, towards the middle and inner part of the object. The design surrounding these zoomorphic elements, crafted from gold, depicts a two-headed zoomorphic creature with a row of 17 sequins hanging along its body, attached mechanically. The object was created using repoussé and openwork techniques. Malacological elements are inlaid in the eye areas of these creatures. The piece has a polished finish."
"A bimetallic nose ornament crafted from gold and silver, composed of two distinct sections. The silver section features two zoomorphic designs on either side, depicting crustaceans (prawns) in profile and facing opposite directions. The central section, made of gold, displays another zoomorphic motif: a crustacean (crab) shown from above. The piece includes a hook or clasp, also made entirely of gold. The designs were created using repoussé and openwork techniques and feature semiprecious stones inlaid in the eye area. The object has a polished surface finish."
