Arthropods and invertebrates good actually! Come, hS, come and visit the Butterfly Wonderland here in Arizona, you see, all the beautiful butterflies and moths? Our entire agricultural system is dependent on such pollinators to keep our plants breeding . . . uh . . . just need to make a quick stop at my condo here . . .

Anyway, let's next head to my zoo, and the invertebrate touch tank! We have pencil urchins, and they're delightfully rough to the feel! And horseshoe crabs, very smooth and ancient friends! But the best friend of all is the slipper lobster! Watch them scuttle about! See the little face feelers flicking here and there! Behold—what's? Gah, ants! Swarming up my ankles, and me without socks today!

diatoms are also invertebrates, for the record

Well, there you have it! Agh—scratches ankles forever Our fellow life forms are truly marvelous and excellent beings that we are blessed to share this earth with! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to spend 90+ minutes of every Saturday night staying late at work to kill scorpions.

—doctorlit doesn't see species; he judges each invertebrate based on their personal character. Except for silverfish. They can all bite it.
