A Japanese emperor caterpillar (Sasakia charonda), also called a dragonhead due to its distinctive horned projections. The horns and markings act as a disguise to scare off hungry predators. It'll eventually transform into the Japanese Emperor Butterfly, ie. the national butterfly of Japan.

Crinoids as "living fossils" drives me crazy. Modern crinoids are more species-rich than extant primates and about twice as diverse as turtles. They live in habitats ranging from the deep sea to coral reefs. And they're quite morphologically & ecologically disparate if you understand how they live!

Audited one of my favourite drawers today. As far as I can tell there was an entire generation of past mollusc curators who communicated entirely by means of passive-aggressive drawer notes to each other

A drawer of fossil molluscs mounted on cards taken from a pre-1980s display. In the middle is a curatorial note in red pen that says "Don't fumble with these until we find out smarting of glue they are stuck down with" and underneath in a different smaller hand in black ink "yes I will! Fumble fumble fumble - so there!". Several additional notes in the second hand are scattered in the drawer with arrows pointing to various specimens. They all read "fumble fumble fumble".
