Holy guacomole, that last one does it for me! I love it when an image makes me contemplate "what is that??"

The clusters of bilaterally arranged filaments suggests an animal but none that I encounter on a day to day basis, at least not from that perspective. Well done!

Glad you liked it. I did try a more abstract approach with the last one, the position of the bristles were very eye catching at that moment.
