Description
Heell yeah! Sorry for not posting anything guys
This is the last drawing I've made and it's actually a fanart for Nemo Ramjet's planet called Snaiad.
One of the interesting things about it is that some of the creatures there which fill the niche of insects are much more closely related to the big "vertebrates" than arthropods and vertebrates on earth.
I haven't seen any flying picozans, so I attempted to draw one.

As you can see, Picozoans

the most interesting of these is its evolution. Because they do not have the backbone to all his cousins have, no fossils. So one could speculate on them.

Hmmm... I bet ther would be fewer fossils, but no fossils at all? you see, there are fossil "prints" of soft-bodied animals on earth. They're rare, but we happen to find them from time to time anyway.

the main material in bone
Snaiadi is a modified hydrocarbon compound which resembles hard wood. The bones are easy to burn when heated. Because of this, Snaiadi vertebrate fossils are relatively rare. And even more of picozoas, who have some kind of exoskeleton or shell. There might be some, but it would be very rare.

Hmmm... There also is this elusive pteranodon-like creature in this picture in Nemo-s gallery: [link]
It looks very vertebrate-like...

Interesting... looks more like a gnat than a caddisfly... but I still like it! Good job!

Hmmm... Maybe the name "trichoptera" was more inspirational than the animal itself, you see, "bristly wings" is precisely what I did.

I guess you did... literally...

Oh! check out "Pterophorus" or "plume moth!" I knew there was something with "feather wings" flying around!
