A familiar treasure of the North Sea coast, the Blue Mussel can be found clustered along rocks, piers and shorelines, quietly filtering the seawater around it.
This card features my hand-drawn illustration of the Blue Mussel, celebrating one of those small pieces of marine life we so often encounter by the sea.
Species: Blue Mussel
Scientific name: Mytilus edulis
IUCN Red List status: Not Evaluated (NE)
The Latin name Mytilus edulis is printed on the back of the card — a little detail connecting the illustration to the species that inspired it.
