目的：记录和保存民间信仰和艺术灵感来自天鹅绒蠕虫（Onychophora）。天鹅绒蠕虫是稀有的无脊椎动物，被认为是“活化石”，有完整的胎盘器官，用一张粗糙的“网”在几分之一秒内捕获猎物。研究设计：本研究采用实地访谈、在线调查和自动数据库搜索相结合的方法。方法：我们向了解蠕虫的农民提出开放式问题，咨询专家，并在互联网上搜索记录民俗和艺术实例，使用这些动物在英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语（它们出现的国家的语言）以及其他语言中获得的所有名称，并在科学网站、CrossRef、Google Scholar和Google中自动搜索图像。结果：我们在民间传说和艺术中发现了80多个直接引用天鹅绒蠕虫的案例，主要来自美国、澳大利亚、巴西、哥斯达黎加和新西兰。病例较多的国家是新西兰（每百万居民24例）、哥斯达黎加（每百万居民16例）和澳大利亚（每百万居民3例）。最常见的表达方式是漫画，其次是旅游机构在广告中使用天鹅绒蠕虫，带有天鹅绒蠕虫代表的产品，民俗信仰，以及以天鹅绒蠕虫命名的乐队或歌曲。在几乎所有的情况下，动物都是以有利的眼光看待的，鼓舞人心的民间传说和艺术突出了它们非凡的天性。结论：天鹅绒蠕虫独特的捕食机制似乎激发了意想不到的艺术和民俗表达，并在本文中保留下来，以供未来使用，从而开始了一个全新的研究路线：“活化石”对人类文化的影响。

英文摘要：
Aims: To document and preserve folkloric beliefs and art inspired by velvet worms (Onychophora), rare invertebrates that are considered "living fossils", have full placental organs and capture prey with a rough "net" built in a fraction of a second. Study Design: This study is a combination of field interviews, online surveys and automatic database search. Methods: We asked open-ended questions to farmers who know the worms, consulted experts and searched the Internet to document folkloric and artistic instances using all the names that these animals receive in English, Spanish and Portuguese (languages of the countries where they occur) as well as other languages, and automatic image search, in Web of Science, CrossRef, Google Scholar and Google. Results: We found more than 80 cases of direct references to velvet worms in folklore and art, mostly from the USA, Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica and New Zealand. Per capita the countries with more cases are New Zealand (24 cases per million inhabitants), Costa Rica (16 cases per million inhabitants) and Australia (3 cases per million inhabitants). The most frequent expressions are cartoons, followed by tourism agencies using velvet worms in their ads, products with velvet worm representations, folkloric beliefs, and music bands or songs named after them. In almost all cases the animals are seen in a favorable light, inspiring folklore and art that highlight their extraordinary nature. Conclusion: The unique prey capture mechanism of velvet worms seems to have inspired an unexpected number of artistic and folkloric expressions, preserved for the future in the present article, which starts a totally new line of research: the effect of "living fossils" on human culture.
