hi #PortfolioDay i draw bugs and stuff

Vampire squid with ornate pattern filling
timorocidaris, a crinoid. it looks like an upside down button mushroom, but very warty, with three tendrils sprouting out of what would've been the mushroom stalk. each tendril arm is lined with a pair of smaller branches on the sides. it's very absurd i know.
Cretotetracha grandis, a tiger beetle with big chompers facing the camera. illustration.
a long worm with bulbous butt and warty body. near the front are 5 pairs of long tubular arms, each one equipped with rows of tentacle-like things for filter feeding.

Sea robins have 'the body of a fish, wings of a bird, legs of a crab'. They can also taste with their 'feet'

Imagine wading in the shallows at the beach and tasting mussels and clams hidden under the sand — with your feet. A new study shows fish species evolved to do just that.
