INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a video about a tiny segmented animal with pincers on its head and a huge maw. It could be a Mystery Arthropod. Co-starring a Pill Bug whose ancestors crawled out of the ocean 300 million years ago. I read that, when cooked, Pill Bugs taste like shellfish.

Featured in the video, besides Male, Female, and Juvenile Quail are Mourning Doves and California Towhees.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Tiny Being with Segmented Body, Pincers on Head, and a Huge Maw – Is It an Arthropod?
By Alice B. Clagett

Hello, Dear Ones. It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

I found a really interesting being. Take a look … I hope you can see it ok. It is tiny. Ok, here it is …

. . . . .

See how big it is? Not very big. A little bigger than the breadth of my thumb. It has pincers on top [at the front of its face]. And it looks … I don’t know what it is, you know?

It was just in a big war with some Ants …

CAPTION: This Tiny Being is the natural enemy of Small Black Ants here in California.

Alice to Readers (continuing): … some Black Ants, and it was quite a commotion that went on. Apparently they are bitter enemies. And it has a kind of a soft body.

So what do you think? It’s a lot smaller than Millipedes and Centipedes that I’ve seen. 

Very Special Songbird to a second Very Special Songbird: She says Cen-ti-pede. Is it a Centipede?

Second Very Special Songbird to first Very Special Songbird (tersely): Yes.

[This Tiny Being crawls under some dried blossoms that fell from a Jacaranda tree.]

Alice to Readers: That will be that, I guess.

Alice to Tiny Being: So long, dude. I wish I knew who you were.

Very Special Songbird to another Very Special Songbird: Tsk! It’s a Cen-ti-pede.

Caption: 300 million years ago Pill Bugs crawled out of the ocean onto land. When cooked they are said to taste like shellfish.

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: They are ancient, ancient … related to ancient, ancient things … Looks like nobody’s hunting for anybody else there. 

Very Special Songbird: Jesus, What is it?

Mourning Dove (purring or cooing sound, like wings fluttering softly): Pi-i-i-ill Bu-u-u-ug.

Very Special Songbird: Right! Right, It’s a Pill Bug.

. . . . .

Caption: Maw [mouth] wide open. Could the Mystery Being be attracting prey with an odor it’s secreting? What is it trying to catch?

Very Special Songbird: Swe-e-et JE-sus!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
