Triops through day 20

While the power was out Sunday through the middle of Thursday, I still took some triop pictures. Here are the updates:

Day 7, I can clearly see a shell, eyes, legs, and tail. I can't tell exactly how many are still alive.



Day 12, there is clearly one much larger than the rest, and at least two others.



Day 20, a molt. There are now clearly 4, each of a different size. The two largest have begun to molt.


Below are my Day 20 triops dancing to music dubbed on top of Car Talk playing in the background and my cell phone signaling that I received a txt message:

Hundreds of new species found on Australia reefs
Dozens of new marine species were found, such as shrimp-like animals with claws longer than their bodies, along with already known animals like a tongue-eating isopod parasite that eats a fish's tongue and then resides in its mouth.
