Dennis the Spider Crab

I got to work with a lot of arthropods this summer, and one of those arthropods was Dennis.

This post was inspired by a comic I saw on Instagram by @rosemarymosco. Looks like good things can come from social media after all.

Featuring special guests from outside the phylum Arthropoda: sea anemones! That’s phylum Cnidaria for anyone who’s curious.

All right everyone, spooky season is over, time for Christmas—oh, I mean Thanksgiving, of course. Time to talk about pilgrim arthropods!

Just when you thought the ocean couldn’t get any scarier.

That’s their name, don’t wear it out.

They all have hearts of gold.

“This train is bound for glowing, this train…”

You probably shouldn’t shake hands with crabs in general, but with this one especially, it’s not a good idea.

The phylum Arthropoda is full of deception.
