#paleoctober2025 day 21 : Eramoscorpius brucensis !

Finally a chelicerate !!!! Eramoscorpius is a silurian scorpion with significant modern features for its age, making it really important for scorpion's evolution
And I have A LOT to say bout this adorable criter, so join my nerdiness below !🦂⬇️
Did some drawings of chelicerates since the begining of the month🦂🕷️

I'm really happy with what I did for Aphantomartus ifeldicus, it was my very first trigonotarbid drawing and also the first paleoart of this species as I'm aware of, more representation for obscure taxa !✊

Watching Princess Mononoke right after Hazbin Hotel is so disturbing when earing Okkoto voiced by Keith David, for 1sec I was like "Husk wtf are you doing in a Miyazaki movie ?!?"

The first of a paleoart series I'm calling "Perspectives," which aims to highlight the evolution of life on Earth with a variety of different creatures and styles.

This one is "Pale First Dot," depicting good ol' LUCA, the last universal common ancestor.

Say hello to Protochthonius gilboa, a devonian mite from Gilboa (USA) and an early representative of the oribatids, a major group of mites well represented today !

I'm doing a bit of cleaning in my computer, didn't wrote down who made this back in 2023 but it's a phylogeny of the animal emojis we use on our phones, it's so cute !!

Hi!
As I am not very available for commissions these days BUT still receive requests from researchers looking for artists who can do scientific illustrations of arthropods and inverts, I am updating my list of potential artists, so please, if you know arthropod loving artists, let me know! #SciArt

an insult to scientific illustrators who put time and work into accurately communicating results of research in a visual form

an insult to the researchers whose work is being bastardized here

an insult to the funding bodies who support research for it to be disseminated to the world

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Was bored on the train, redrew chelicerata phylogeny mostly from memory🕷🦂

And yup there's 3 made-up names (Opistholamellifera, Aflagellarachnida & Neophtalmarachnida), don't take them into account it was just for me😅

MonitorChef épisode 2 : le THYM
Ce qui me fait halluciner, c'est quand on met Eizo devant un truc qui visiblement le dégoûte, et qu'il re-goute 5 fois pour être sûr à 100% que c'est vraiment pas bon

Eizo did birdwatching (terrifying).
Lizard and bird, two taxa separated by 300 million years of evolution.
Eizo, rather big Varanus acanthurus, weighs 420g, while the average european greenfinch weighs 30g. Fortunately, he prevailed!

Me 5 minutes ago: oh, I want to do some paleoart of extinct chelicerates, let's look at this one, Ecchosis pulchribothrium !
Me right now : How the fuck only this few was enough to raise a genus

I made my lizard have a prehistoric encounter with Yutyrannus.
Broke his flegm.
Oh Eizo, you're so brave...
