aggressive reminder that insects, fairy shrimp, remipedes, and now copepods too (!!!) are a clade of crustaceans called Allotriocarida or literally "weird shrimp". Bugs is shrimps, by definition
Very excited to share our new paper on Pancrustacean Phylogeny with a number of surprising findings! 🧵

Best practices in #taxonomy are critical for addressing the current #biodiversitycrisis. Taxonomy needs to be rebranded to the scientific community as a modern, active and important discipline with sufficient funding and taxonomic researchers. #Entomology #Zoology #Museums

For this #wormwednesday evening we have Prorhynchus, a freshwater flatworm that uses its penis stylet (here near the front) as a harpoon to catch prey. The stylet injects poison into the prey. The mouth and stylet share opening - further back the pharynx can be seen.

Anaperus tvaerminnensis is a voracious predator feeding on various small Invertebrates including other Acoela, as can be seen in this photo. The statocyst of the prey is still visible. #WormWednesday
