Tadpole and fairy shrimps at Döberitzer Heide? | Triops cancriformis and Branchipus schaefferi

[@BranchiopodLab]

What a neat find!

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

Indeed very neat! My first encouter of those in nature....

Nice place and beautiful fairy shrimps.

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

Yes, I had only known fairy shrimps from my very first triops kit, where they were actually more abundant that the tadpole shrimps. Those fairy shrimps were much smaller and less colorful. Branchipus schaefferi looks almost like a small tropical fish, when seen from above!

Thats so cool! I love all the cryptobiotic stuff

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

Lovecraftian creatures in on a small scale! "That is not dead, which can eternal lie. And with strange eons even death may die." And they are somewhat ancient and alien looking!

Very nice! :-) For when a Lampyridae fieldtrip in Germany (spoken in English)?

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

That's right I did a few in German. Maybe I should also do some in English. Or use that new audio dubbing functionality of KZbin...

lt would be so cool if you visited here in the Skeena Valley in BC and take a look at the local flora & fauna that is here with your observant eyes.

Sounds interesting! Canada is a quite cool country, I think... But I don't like to travel for long and leave my pets and plants alone.
