Familiar Fridays - Velvet Worm

 

The incredibly cute and squishy (but silky) Velvet Worm of Costa Rica, which spray sticky webbing to catch their prey. I love velvet worms. It’s like if someone wanted to make a friendly centipede. They’re incredibly rare, though you shouldn’t touch them and make them shoot strings regardless. They’re very shy about using it AND it’s supposed to be special when they do - so if you every come across one please don’t make them spray.
