Mollusc collage progress pride flag with blue ringed octopus closeup for the intersex flag ... is this anything? Has someone already made this or do I now have a weekend project?
Ok the ones that haven't been guessed yet are white, pink, pale blue, and yellow. Your first clue is for white: its a bivalve! it's big!! But not the *biggest*. Ok I'm going to sleep. Have fun!
Also for the record none of these are nudis because that felt like cheating 😂
Let's play name that mollusc 😂 they aren't all bivalves! But there are only conchiferans here I'm sorry I couldn't get decent pics of everything I wanted to use
Reviewing my fourth paper of the year ... meanwhile the ms I submitted in January is still sitting "under review" with the journal 🙄
