Comment prétendre qu'on s'intéresse à la réussite des enfants quand on les gaze pour débloquer un établissement qui ne marche pas ? Comment feindre l'intérêt pour leur bien-être quand des agents armés et en armure les frappent pour leur empêcher de scander des slogans ?

What time is it? It’s #Cheliceratime ! Today's entry is one of the most famous eurypterid, Megalograptus ohioensis! All the basic infos are here but if you want to learn more, there’s more in the thread below!⬇️🧵 #arthropod #ordovician #paleoart #eurypterid #sciart #bugsky 1/4

This famous arthropod was one of the biggest eurypterids during the Ordovician period, and its genus was first identified as a graptolite. It’s well-known for the long spines on its second pair of legs and for the semi-lunar shape of its telson.

Size : a bit more than 50cm of body length
Time period : Late Ordovician
Paleoart speculativometer : Almost a carbon copy

The animal drawn looks a bit like a scorpion but without pincers, with instead large spiny arms

What time is it? It’s #Cheliceratime & #FossilFriday! For this entry we're talking about a recently named polish horseshoe crab! All the basic infos are here but if you want to learn more, there’s more in the thread below!⬇️🧵 #horseshoecrab #triassic #paleoart #poland #sciart #bugsky 1/3

This species, with its super enlarged genal spines, is the oldest horseshoe crab found in Poland, and is another piece in the puzzle of how these animals were extremely successful after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction.

Size : 10-ish cm of body length
Time period : Early Triassic
Paleoart speculativometer : Few missing details

The animal drawn is a horseshoe crab but with super large and narrow elongations of its head part on its sides

This ground-based arachnid is endemic to Southern California, just like the other species of this genus. It was one of the first schizomids to receive a scientific name 127 years ago.

Size : around 10mm of body length
Time period : Holocene (Present day)
Conservation status : Least concern/Near threatened

The animal drawn is a schizomid, an eyeless arachnid walking on 6 legs and using its first legs as antennae

À l’éclosion, le T. rex était gros comme un petit chat, mais déjà un carnivore fonctionnel. Il ne restait probablement pas longtemps au nid et grandissait rapidement, se nourrissant de vertébrés et changeant progressivement de niches écologiques jusqu'à devenir le superprédateur que l'on connaît.

Des scientifiques ont comparé les os d'un T. rex nouveau-né à ceux d'oiseaux et d'autres dinosaures ; ils ont estimé que l'animal devait avoir la taille d'un petit chat domestique. (Nicholas R. Longrich et al./Biology)

Painting the same butterfly at age 20 and 30. Never give up on your art!

Two digital paintings of the same large yellow-and-black tiger swallowtail butterfly. The one in the upper left is labeled "2016." It has a more painterly style with some questionable proportions and anatomy. The one on the bottom right is labeled "2026" and is far more realistic, to the point it looks as though it might come to life and flit off the page at any moment. It's hard to believe I've only been a scientific illustrator for ten years, though that really was a whole lifetime ago. Thank you HRT for letting me live this long. :)
