[@ichthyovenator3351]

Entothyreos really does make me wonder what the Cambrian was smoking back in the day. Lobopodians being a paraphyletic grouping was something new to me but totally expected just because of how wildly different they were, reminds me of the "kingdom" protista. Honestly I wish that there was more to this thing and hopefully the Burgess Shale continues to make us question reality. Also I recognize that Minas Tirith painting👀

[@ferretyluv]

Same. I always thought lobopodians just meant velvet worms and their relatives like Hallucigenia. But apparently now it’s paraphyletic like “birds of prey.” Wait, Protista isn’t a kingdom anymore? Damn, phylogenetics is changing super fast.

[@ichthyovenator3351]

@@ferretyluv apparently protists are pretty much just a wastebasket clade for organisms that don’t fit into the other kingdoms. So there are protists more related to plants, animals etc than to other protists.

Are there any studies on insect respiratory system vs CO2 and O2 % in atmosphere? I’m a horticulturist and seen many changes over the decades in my field but have noticed the…vanishing. Also, noticed some beetles like Japanese beetle are significantly smaller. I had learned through archaeology that when O2% were higher insects were bigger. So, I thought with more CO2% the O2% decreases and insects will get smaller or go extinct from asphyxiation. And how are earthworms affected? They completely vanished in Floyd county GA 4 years ago…I did see a few this spring but none since and I dig everywhere looking now…kinda freaking out.

Entothyreos makes me think of this wild west period in natural selection, where cambrian invertebrates haven't nailed down the "meta" of advantageous traits yet, so God allows for creatures to take 22 tubeworm legs out for a spin before several ecological collapses cause the taxonomic tree to streamline itself. Or maybe radiodonta hydras are the dominant species in a parallel universe?

I'm sorry, but I do not like spiders, and having one crawl all over me is one of my worst nightmares.

I can understand why the video maker thought it would be a good idea- the channel is about arthropods, after all, and it is certainly a novel way of presenting the subject matter. However, arachnophobia is a thing, and the fact an arachnid is walking free all over the presenter may well be stopping people subscribing... it has me, for one. There are other large arthropods that could be used to such effect without triggering potential subscribers- a large mantid, stick insect, even a big stag beetle would be far more acceptable presentation companions!
