Oh the places that they’ve been. Move-in day for PAXEast. Where have you caught ye in person? These bins are well traveled.

Say hi to the Barbados velvet worm. This embroidered patch can be found in the Basic and Deluxe tiers of this month’s Bug Box.

The Bug Box is a monthly insect and spider themed subscription box filled with enamel pins, stickers, patches, postcards, and special items that aims to extend the appreciation and awareness of bugs, insects, and spiders to everyone from seasoned entomologists to general bug enthusiasts with three tiers and a non-recurring payment gift option to fit all budgets.

The tropical blue velvet worm is found only in northern Queensland, Australia. Despite its 15 pairs of legs, it moves quite slowly. But if caught unawares, even the fastest prey are no match for the velvet worm’s glue-like slime, which it shoots from its face to immobilize other invertebrates.

This hard enamel pin can be found in the Deluxe tier of The Bug Box this month. Sign up by February 28 to get yours.

Does this look like the face of a stone-cold killer? You might be surprised. This month, we're exploring the not-so-cuddly world of velvet worms, an ancient group of invertebrates unlike anything else on Earth.
