    All I know is that I am amazed that all these exoskeletal segmented creatures diversified in form so much; millipedes crabs, shrimps, lobsters, arachnids, all the myriad insects, lice, ticks, you name a niche, they are there. All variations on the "make segment with appendages, make another segment but vary it a bit" genetic pattern. It makes an obvious parallel between genetics and software, IMO.

      Interestingly enough, insects themselves were recently found to be taxonomically nested in Crustacea. Meaning every insect, such as the fly, butterfly, cicada, roach, ant, beetle, & mantis are crustaceans. Here I thought crustaceans were already diverse enough.

      @@willisgemutlich2608 Arachnids are actually their own separate lineage being the first of the major extant groups of arthropods to split off on their own back in the Cambrian.
      Technically arachnids are still listed as chelicerates but recent phylogenetic evidence makes the grounds of that classification murky as one of the major groups of animals horseshoe crabs (order Xiphosura) has recently been found to be a sister group to the hooded tickspiders(order Ricinulei) which is also supported physiologically in effect also supporting Carl Linnaeus's original assessment on relatedness. As the Rincinulei are nested deep into the arachnid family tree this implies they must be arachnids and as Eurypterids have long been known to be related to both groups likely implies they too were true arachnids in which case several definitions namely those which place sea spiders outside that grouping the clade of Chelicerates may be identical to arachnids or alternatively most arachnids ,including scorpions, spiders, camel spiders, harvestmen etc. must be reclassified not unlike the situation with crustaceans. moreover the type of UV fluorescence appears to be a basal characteristic of the clade with all known arachnids displaying some degree of UV fluorescence, interestingly at least sometimes even including their fossils which makes sense since the feature is derived from the crystalline structure of the cuticle. More interestingly phylogenetic estimates indicate the most basal members of the arachnid family tree are the numerous tiny arachnids referred to as mites. given that many are inhabitants of wet soils I wouldn't be surprised if these organisms adapted to that way of life feeding off the fungi cyanobacteria and any green algae that wound up on the shore or intertidal environments.
      Of course The origin of Myriapods is also extremely mysterious with their first fossil evidence already showing that centipedes and millipedes had already diverged by then and had become well adapted to terrestrial ecosystems. In fact to date no marine fossils exist of Myriapods despite molecular clock estimates strongly suggesting the order arose in the Cambrian. Given that many myriapods are subterranean in nature and have been found living deep deep underground I wouldn't be surprised if they may have originated as subsurface early terrestrial colonizing arthropods which ventured on land hiding from the UV radiated landscape by day and feeding by night or something similar. Where there is food and water there is life and while an ultraviolet irradiated landscape is a harsh environment it would be an effective way to avoid the extreme competition within the Cambrian seas.

    Nochnitsa geminidens (a small gorgonopsid adapted for a nocturnal lifestyle)
    Anteosaurus magnificus (the largest land predator of the Palaeozoic)
    Effigia okeeffeae (a shuvosaurid known for its unique feeding habits)
    Neptunidraco ammoniticus (one of the oldest and best preserved metriorhynchids)
    Brachytrachelopan mesai (a sauropod unique for its very short neck)
    Mauriciosaurus fernandezi (the best preserved polycotylid, with a nearly complete skeleton and some soft tissue being preserved)
    Microleo attenboroughi (a tiny, basal species of marsupial lion)
    Gnatusuchus pebasensis (a brachycephalic, bivalve-eating caiman with a shovel-like mandible)
    Llallawavis scagliai (a small phorusrhacid, though it's the one with the best preserved skull)

    so, due the the vast multitude of colorations in modern crustaceans, I would love to see the rainbow of colors that they may have had. Is there a way to determine that with chemical composites of fossils? Physical chemistry? That seems insurmountable with all the variants of the lobster or crab family now, with some having stripes, dots, spikes, enlarged claws or not, etc. Same with dinosaurs. Feathers or scales? Cross? Sharks don't have scales but a layer of small teeth, with the ability to heal them all. Is there something in this? It will be cool when our fossils start giving us more and more information. I have some weird fossils I'd love to send you pics of if I can figure out how to do that, but I'm not very good at this computer stuff anymore. I'll have to go find some pics first too, but we're talking clams for the most part, from a prehistoric river delta. my neighbor at the TOP of the hill had a beautiful river dolphin displayed in his living room, FULL, and someone broke in and stole the head. Our unique characteristic is that it's SAND, like fine building sand, and we're basically on ancient sand dunes as well. The soil and topography are dunes that were once submerged. The fossil fragments I have littered about are all pure white, loose, separate chunks of these "worms", I'm fairly certain they are actually clams of a funny sort. The clumps aren't fractional, they're very much conglomerate, so we never try to cut them. You'd lose the kerf. it would be cool to see what those clams (the big ones, 3-5 inches) were eating with some modern tech. River delta means brackish which means best and worst of both worlds meeting. Edit this, please, or keep it just for yourself.

      Yep Odonata for example are one of the few animals that in addition to tracking prey actively compute intercept trajectories towards prey.
      This is made all the more impressive since it is done in 3D motion and time with complex hovering maneuvers and turns which mathematically requires full quaternions to model successfully without the mathematics going singular suggesting they are doing something analogous to full quaternion calculations inside their little insect brains.

    Thanks for this perfectly timed video! Just a few days ago I decided to keep crustaceans again: I got a tank intended to become an aquaterrarium for a group of mangrove crabs and dwarf shrimps, and a friend gifted me a terrarium which will be the home of a group of exclusivly land dwelling (and even arboreal) vampire crabs.
    Can't wait to set everything up and let it run in before the new inhabitants arrive. 😁

    Callichimaera reminded me of the Silverswimmer from the speculative documentary "The Future is Wild". Silverswimmers are a group of fish-like crustaceans that were descendants of free swimming crustaceans that bred in their larvae stage in a extreme case of neoteny. Not the first time TFiW "predicted" something like this. They also predicted the flightless Jamaican caracara & four-winged Microraptor through the Carakiller & Great Blue Windrunner. The Spitfire Beetle arguably counts too, the modern Epomis ground beetles also uses mimicry to hunt their predators, although they hunt frogs instead of birds.

    Ten years ago i was fishing with a friend in a murky water port, he catched something strange and he start crying like a little girl... scared by the thing he fished and begging me to take off the hook... (courage is never been his best).
    Annoyed i come to help him and I saw it was some kind of strange crab; it had very long legs and it was quite big, the animal was like 30 cm in diameter but, what really striked me was the shape of that legs, they were flat and similar to some kind of fins.
    I know very well about crabs with paddles, i catched a lot of them in my life and that thing was different; it had 4 or more finned legs and its torax had an oval, some kind of hydrodynamic shape.
    I took off the hook and freed it in the water, it started to swim forward, elegantly moving in alternately way its 4 finned legs... just like a 4 finned sea turtle.
    It swimmed near the surface for 10 or more seconds then it dived, disappearing in the murky water.
    I never saw something like that after, i searched on the web and asked to my professors in university (i'm graduating in biology) but i never found out what it was.
    EDIT: My theory is it was some kind of pelagic, swimming spider crab (Majidae family); because the torax and the cephalic region was very similar to that of them and, on more... my fishing friend was scared not by the oddity of the animal but... just because he thought it was a spider crab (he is hella scared by spider crabs XD).
    BTW I've never heard about free swimming spider crabs and i never saw a crab swimming in that way; it intrigues me thinking it can be some kind of rare and still undiscovered species, afterall seas are full of incredible and wonderful alien-looking animals and many of them still being discovered day by day.
    The port in question is full of large fishing vessels, maybe one of them caught it with deep nets offshore, and then threw it back into the water, during fish processing operations in the port; just a theory.
    In any case the animal appeared unharmed and healty, infact it deliberately ate the bait instead of passively being caught by the hook.
