Full disclosure
When I appear on a living thing—for example, a fish, a bird, a reptile, a small mammal—you have to expect that I can’t realistically maintain my original form. Not surprisingly, my original form can become skewed and look different as the living thing grows. Remember me as I started—as a simple dot.
I love joining forces with all creatures, including insects.

Who would expect after seeing me on this larvae that I would be part of a transformation into a creature of even greater beauty.

I enhance the visual appeal of anything I’m part of, including the Gem tag fish.
I’m sharing the canvas on the Polka-dot stingray with some spots.
Surely you agree that my appearance on the Speckled Racer makes this nonvenomous snake look magnificent.
