In happier news, new paper with @Eviota out today in the Raffles Bulletin of Zoology. Meet Nemateleotris lavandula, the Lavender-blushed Dartfish. The new species is elevated from the synonymy of N. helfrichi, with which it was previously confused. 1/7

Spider pedipalps are amazing! In mature male spiders, the pedipalps contain the reproductive organs. They're also used for food manipulation, taste and smell, courtship, and as shown in these photos - as window wipers to clean their eyes! (Maratus personatus, Western Australia)
