Poecilia mexicana is a species of fish in the family Poeciliidae. They live in Mexico. This is also where I researched their sexual behavior. The female Atlantic Molly as all other Poecilids do not lay eggs but bear their offspring alive!

I enjoyed very much this drawing in all its details. The snails even have eyes on their antennae. The snails burrow in loose soil so they can hibernate and lay their eggs.

I drew this one in 2015 for another biologist who studied the stress response of the Turbot. With both eyes on the left side, the Turbot lays flat on the bottom of the ocean. Perfectly camouflaged!
