Too cool. Don't have to look far for the amazing, eh?

Find that in the river?

@TylerWthebag I was seeding an aquarium with some swamp water from north of our road and this was one of the prizes. Some kind of daphnia I think.

@cephalothorax Very cool but could it be a nymph form of an insect? After finding funny things in the roseau and later finding out they were damselfly nymphs I realized these things take some interesting juvenile forms...

@TylerWthebag Most definitely it could be a nymph. That was my first guess and then I rolled over to the one that was with insect control for a few summers.

@exoinverts1234 Related for sure, but not a brine shrimp. Have to have salt water for those guys.
