Animals during the Cambrian were incredibly diverseThe downside was, there was a lot of microaggression.

I just noticed today that the Confederate battle flag is a reverse-color (blue to red and vice versa) of the Cross of St. Andrew and the Cross of St. Patrick flags superimposed.

Correct. The other one is the Cross of St. George.
Form 1606 to 1801, it was the Cross of St. George and the Cross of St. Andrew. Then they added the Cross of St. Patrick (the red X).

The red X on a white field is the Cross of St. Patrick, according to my Britannica.
The cross of St. Andrew is a white X on a blue field. (I looked it up because a neighbor flies it.)

No one has seen the obvious relationship to the pre-Cambrian worms from Tremors? What’s going on here?!!!!!
To: MUDDOG
By St. Andrew’s Cross, they mean diagonals. St. Andrew was crucified on a diagonal cross...............

Given its sedentary lifestyle and soft body, the Chinese Collins' Monster would have been a sitting duck for any predators, so it developed an impressive defence mechanism: as many as 72 sharp and pointy spikes of various sizes covering its body, making it one of the earliest soft-bodied animals to develop armour for protection. I like how they talk as if the worm decided it needed spikes and willed them into existence. If animals in the past could will themselves defense mechanisms, surely we humans are on the downward of the evolutionary ladder.

So it looks like the Confederate battle flag was just a variant of the Cross of St. Andrew flag (with no St. Patrick!)
But I think the Britannica is right in saying that the British flag added a (supposed) Cross of St. Patrick in 1801. And the blue and red reversed compared to the Confederate flag.
