Spotted Giblitka

 The organism we are looking at today is the Spotted giblitka, scientific name Magnagibber crudaangulus EILE . It is part of the motiloid phylum, Eumollisids, a topic which has only been briefly discussed beforehand. 

Eumollisids are truely a special type of phylum in Eile. Being older than the articulisid phylum and all apothemaite phylums. And being in early eons of multi -cellular life. 

Eumollisids are still quite significant today. From "worms" to "snails" to "pseudo-sea snakes", they are an incredibly diverse and adaptive phylum which may show mechanisms behind further advanced motiloid evolution to apothemaites and even more.

The species in general is part of a larger group called Gibberids, some may compare them to the gastropods of Earth , Gibberids use internal structures in order to produce locomotion and be able to move. Those internal structures are modified miniscule muscles enabling Gibbberids to move across the bumpy surface of the forest floor.

This organism (the Spotted Giblitka) traverses across the forest floor looking for leaf litter, sometimes, it will consume "eggs" that are attached onto the leaf litter that are left attached on the leaf. Sometimes these eggs can be a good nutritious meal, or cause a parasite to grow in their bodies(causing them to die as the organism develops more and more inside of them). The spotted giblitka is gonochoric, with males being brighter green and smaller, while females being duller green and bigger.Also having specialised reproductive organs for each sex. The female lays hundreds of small jelly-like eggs, only 1 in 100 eggs pass through the hatching stage. However, if they do hatch, most of them survive to adulthood and beyond, living for around a good 10 years. Thanks for reading as always and see you in the next post.
