* Admitted, everyone always goes "canopy specialist?" whenever a forest species is rarely caught. - Laticoleus are really rare? Canopy specialists. - Only one Epirhyssa johanna ever caught? Could they be āCanopy Specialistsā? - Didn't see any elephants š today? Perhaps they're in the canopy?

Interesting discussion. Definitely pros and cons to it, but I feel like at the bare minimum they should have had a cohesive plan for the sequel trilogy. I'm still baffled at how disjointed they ended up being, which also ruined opportunities for further tie-ins.

This is Costasiella kuroshimae, the sea sheep. It's not a nudibranch, it's a sacoglossan, another mollusc clade. The green color is a tip-off: sacoglossans are herbivorous where nudis are carnivores. Like nudibranchs they can eat things and then repurpose cells from them, in this case chloroplasts
