yes, biologists can be very silly too.

i think my favourite is Santacarius ="Santa claws", a fossil chelicerate, related to the more modern dude below.

at one point i have to get an excuse to get into the tropics and hunt down some amblypygids. really, are these not the freaking coolest critters?


chelicerata, oviger, silliness
