Mentioned briefly in my last post, but I do in fact have holographic worm stickers for sale now.
There’s far more to the world of Annelida than the humble nightcrawlers you find in your yard; many species are found in marine environments, where they take such varied forms as the fearsome bobbit worm or the ethereal tomopteris. Here I’ve rendered a ragworm (family Nerididae); a sort of polychaete (bristle worm) found in benthic marine (and occasionally freshwater) environments the world over.
Some cool facts to win you over:
1. The largest ragworm in the world is the king ragworm (Alitta virens), which ready achieves lengths of 4 ft/120 cm.
2. Ragworms are an important part of the live sea-bait industry. Unfortunately that also means they have been harvested so extensively in some areas that their populations are threatened.
3. Ragworms reproduce through a bizarre process called epitoky, in which the benthic worm either transforms into a free-swimming reproductive morph, or buds off several free swimming sex-clones to party in the world above. Either way, it will be the final act of the animal’s life.
4. Ragworms, like bobbit worms, have large, eversible mandibles in their pharynx that they extrude to give a nasty bite.
5. On the topic of ragworm jaws, the material they are made of is very strong and lightweight, despite lacking the calcium mineralization of most other animals with hard body structures. There is some research investigating its structure for aerospace engineering applications!

Have you ever seen marine life as wicked as this in the aquarium?
Nah I didn't think so!
I'll be selling these as stickers locally in the next week, more information on that later!

I've been making ✨ glittery nudibranch stickers ✨
Did you know there are thousands of described species of nudibranchs? That's more slugs than I'll ever be able to draw... so for now I'm sticking to ones that can be found in our local waters 🙂
This is Hypselodoris bennetti, a sea slug that can be found along the coasts of southeastern Australia. The red spots on their body are a warning signal to would-be predators 🙅
I'll have these at my table at Supanova Melbourne in April!
