Specimen Ampoule: Scrapperflap (baby)
The Scrapperflap is a good-natured little bugger usually minding it's own business. -In space.
They mostly float around aimlessly around the universe, devouring what ever it comes across in tiny amounts. As a baby, the Scrapeprflap usually gather in vast amounts circling planets yet not turned solid, creating rings around them as they orbit.
These rings have up till recently been misenterpreted as nothing but dust and small rocks due to the Scrapperflaps tiny size and transparent jelly-like bodies, but now we know planetary rings can contain up to 2% of these kind little entities.
Scrapperflaps are simply tiny space cleaners who use their flat tentacles to transport stardust to their mouths, hence the name.
Combing through the universe with their fine rim of brush-like fuzz they are indeed little helpers of the best kind, acting as an important food source for many of the grander beings in space like the star whale.
Whenever the Scrapperflap find a particularly nice little piece of sparkling stardust they attach it to their longer mid-section tail, signaling their status as adults.
