Wow!
It is Interesting, is its shellΒ part of the body, or an artificial formation? For me it was looked likeΒ the cover of Trichoptera larvaes, but it would be difficult to make holes for each pair of legs

Thank you ! Yes, I thought the shell was a little too complex to be produced by using components recovered in the habitat. The trichoptera larvae was more an inspiration for the form, here the shell is a part of the body produced by biomineralization.

Reminds me of a sea scorpion. Was it a real creature?

It is a fictive extraterrestrial creature But yes, I took a some inspiration from the sea scoprpions and also from larvae of trichoptera which build sorts of sheaths to protect themselves.
