Get a wriggle on

Here's the link to vote for the Invertebrate of the Year (2 minute read)

I promised you the link so you can vote for The Guardian’s Invertebrate of the Year, so here it is!

Voting is only open for a couple of days - so, to honour all of those invertebrates, get a wriggle on.

As well as Milnesium tardigradum, the tardigrade I wrote about last week, there are nine other worthy contenders - including New Zealand’s wonderful wētāpunga. So, although I’m voting for the tardigrade, I encourage you to check out the shortlist (it’s given on the voting page) and make your own choice. They all deserve the honour.
