Greetings, chordate comrades. #InverteFest is upon us. tl;dr: Over the last 7 days every April, August, and December, we invite you to show the internet your coolest bugs & slugs. Go find critters, post your art, write wikipedia pages, do whatever you like to celebrate invertebrates with us!

@micahseacole.bsky.social you seen this???

Can't find critters in the wild? Show us: - Your pet snail - Your Vivillon collection - That scifi book about sentient clams - Your OC based on a parasitic nematode - That game where you played as a crab with a sword Feel free to come up with your own idea, we don't gatekeep fun!

Oh I found a snail that survived a gnarly broken shell, and the steatoda grossa that hung around in my room And a cheiracanthium species but most of those fuckers are really not easy to ID lol.

Never heard of this until now! I’m excited!
