Another one done in my Oddly Exotic Alphabet project! I worked on this a couple weeks ago on a day where I unintentionally slept away most of the morning and never did really get rid of a headache. (I’m writing this and scheduling the posting times on that day. Whatever is going on is giving me squinty sleepy vision and foggy thinking. I think I’m fighting a virus. Not sure. I’m sure it’ll be gone by the time this gets to you, though.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Planaria<\/em><\/a> are weird and wonderful. Mostly I was looking at pictures rather than reading up on them, which means I don’t know as much about them as would be cool. I did learn there are a bunch of different species, some terrestrial, some in freshwater, some in marine habitats. Somehow, even though I think they are wicked nifty (no body cavities, regeneration, dual nerve cords!), they also give me a little bit of the heebie-jeebies. I wonder why.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks to my college friend Lane for suggesting \u00a0Platyhelminthes<\/em> (flatworms)<\/a> for the letter P. \u00a0Thanks to my friend Lisa for the stones I used to hold my tiny notebook open for the photograph.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
