🤓uhm ackhtually centipedes are not insects but are members of a different group of arthropods called Myriapods, along with everyone’s favorite detritivores the millipedes

edit for additional infodumping: their venom injecting apparatuses are modified legs called forcipules or toxicognaths, and they are the only known animal with such features.

This person opilionates 👌

Yep! “Daddy long legs” is a widely applied colloquial term for harvestman, or opiliones. Though I’m sure some spider species are also called that by some people.

I believe that that’s a harvestman actually. It is an arachnid but not a spider. They are suuuper ancient. The giveaway is that there isnt a visually distinguishable division between the prosoma (head region) and opisthosoma (back region) as there is in the spiders and other arachnids like the solifuges.

My knowledge on the subject is purely at a youtube video level so i am happy to have someone else provide better knowledge and insight

In a nutshell: speaking cladistically, there is no such thing as a fish, or alternatively, all tetrapods are fish. You cant define a monophyletic group that includes “fish” that doesnt also include humans (and all other tetrapods eg birds and such). That’s my understanding anyway

Lmao I was watching an episode of ST: Voyager the other day and a little girl learning about mitochondria said they were the “warp core of the cell”. That phrase is ridiculously pervasive

AI should be used for this and only this

Fun fact: rolling up for protection is called “conglobating” edit: to clarify, it doesn’t need to be for protection, the term applies to rolling up or amassing into a round shape in general

Amphibians are so sick. My parents made a little fish pond like ten years ago and of all the cool things to visit/reside in it over the years the frogs are the coolest by far.

My stupid america brain forced me to read that as “Grand Canyon” at least three times before getting it right, I was rather confused
