Mode 01 · Schematic
Body-plan orientation
Useful for labeling regions or explaining a measurement basis. Not evidence of the exact species appearance.
ICU-authored SVG schematic · no external media bytes · not diagnostic
Representation Gallery
A tiny animal can look huge in frame.
Representation changes what is easy to see. The gallery separates documentary context, scale devices, schematics and interpretive framing so visual clarity does not become false scientific certainty.
Representation roles
Four ways to show a small animal.
Each mode answers a different question. The role label matters as much as the image itself.
Mode 02 · Calibrated scale
Measurement-first graphic
Good for explicit quantity. It must name the measurement basis and cannot substitute for species identification.
ICU-authored diagram · values must trace to source records
Mode 03 · Context image
Environment and behavior
A real photograph can show habitat, pose and apparent scale, but cropping and perspective remain part of the evidence chain.
No external photograph bundled in this candidate; source pages remain linked in the registry
Mode 04 · Scientific plate
Structure and comparison
Scientific illustrations can foreground diagnostic structure. Their evidentiary value depends on who made them, what specimen or source they represent, and how faithfully those links are preserved.

Rights & provenance
Use only what can be explained and licensed.
This release keeps copied animal photography out of the package and makes its authored visual boundary explicit.
Rights boundary
This release intentionally ships no copied animal photographs. The visual system uses clearly labeled ICU-authored schematics so the site does not blur “attractive image” with “licensed evidence object.”
