My tiny linocut fuchsia flatworms on a white background. The animals are an amorphous wiggly oval shape, fuchsia with pale indigo blue dots in the centre, a ring of fuchsia without dots and some yellow orange on its circumference.

For the #printerSolstice prompt split complimentary I was reminded of an animal that is fuchsia, indigo & yellow. So I made some wee little prints of a strange & beautiful creature, the fuchsia flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus) from the tropical Indo-Pacific. Their gorgeous colours are aposematic - a warning to predators that they are not worth eating. So they can crawl around & feed on coral reefs without concern.

A collection of 6 tiny prints laid out on cutting mats of fuchsia flatworms on a white background. The animals are an amorphous wiggly oval shape, fuchsia with pale blue dots in the centre, a ring of fuchsia without dots and some yellow orange on its circumference.

The Fuchsia flatworm's striking appearance, characterized by its bright fuchsia, red, and yellow body colors, not only serves as camouflage against coral backgrounds but also warns potential predators of its distastefulness.
