Guess who got to design a tadpole shrimp pin for Bizarre Beasts this month!
They came out really well despite me being a bit ambitious with the fine details:

Subscriptions are currently open to get these pins on their store – but they'll only be available until February 12th, so grab some while you still can!
(...They haven't updated the artist name on there from last month. I'm not Emily Alvarez 🙃.)

Triops has three eyes!
Screencap from “The Magic School Bus All Dried Up.”
Tadpole shrimp (genus Triops ) are living fossils. Their ancestors have been around since the Devonian period and haven’t changed in appearance much since then.
They have a special adaptation for living in the desert. Triops eggs can enter a state of diapause, or a delay of development, when it’s dry. Once it rains, the eggs hatch.
And here’s a song about this awesome arthropod!
