Both marked spans share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its proportions; poses and surface detail are illustrative.
A little perspective
The length of 2 centimetres and the defined body length of Sea angel are approximately the same.

Sea angel
A defined 2 cm adult sea angel modelled on Clione limacina. Body length excludes the extended wing-like parapodia; species, maturity and posture change the span.
The marked defined body length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Measurement details
Why these numbers?
The visual compares length with defined body length. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Length ↔ Defined body length
- Relative size
- The two selected measurements are approximately equal.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Sea angel uses a 2 cm central value within a recorded range of 1 cm–4 cm.
- Sea angel is labelled representative specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
