Crustacean - Triops longicaudatus

Willcox Playa, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 10, 2010

I always wanted to see these crustaceans that pop up in temporary pools, but I forgot name and don't know where to look up their story. In flat muddy water on sand flats, together with big golden tadpoles.

Yes, that was it!

Thanks Ken - frass the image?

Don't frass...

Inland crustaceans now have a place in the guide, and there is only one other Triops photo. Besides, it's a really cool picture.
