Three illustrations of Velvet Worms colourful Pop Art in style while remaining biologically accurate. "Solórzano's velvet worm, Mongeperipatus solorzanoi (the pink one) is one of the biggest velvet worms, growing to around 22 cm long. Other species are much smaller, about 5cm long on average, but some species are even smaller. Eoperipatus totoro (the brown one) was named after the 1988 Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro. The first specimen was caught in 2007. The team that found it wanted to name it after Totoro because the velvet worm's many-legged cuteness reminded them of the Catbus in the film. So far Eoperipatus totoro is the only velvet worm described from Vietnam. The species can grow to be up to 6cm long. The New Zealand Peripatus, Peripatoides novaezealandiae (blue one) gets its name from the word 'peripatetic' meaning 'wandering'. The Māori name for velvet worm has a similar meaning - ngaokeoke comes from the word 'ngaoki' meaning 'to crawl'. This particular species is about 10cm." more in article via link in post.
