Possibly the second record west of the Continental Divide, the first being http://n2t.net/ark:/65665/39d93e4e8-a728-44d6-b31e-86529dc0e56e
Habitat temporary pool with much vegetation.
Image 1 - male head showing fan-shaped antennae with three pointed tips.
Image 2 - male, ventral view.
Image 3 - male right antenna, lateral view.
Image 4 - knob at base of distal segment of right male antenna. Although Hartland-Rowe in his 1967 description of the species describes this knob as round, it's actually more-or-less pear shaped.
Image 5 - frontal view of male head.

We went for a Black Water apnea session.
Swimming out into the dark and looking for critters at the surface.
Female. Jelly coat not visible.
Habitat: open water of lake.
H. glacialis is morphologically indistinguishable from H. gibberum, but their distributions are largely separate. The location of this specimen was very far from the area where both co-exist. See section 'Differential Diagnosis' on page 29 of the paper below:

Surface plankton tow while trolling at a less than ideal speed
Habitat vernal pool. Image shows male with right valve removed. The characteristic terminal abdominal hooks can be seen, as can the distinguishing features of the right clasper.
Copilia sp?
A large copepod, 3mm long. Caught in a surface plankton haul off Tiritiri Matangi Island around noon.
Very large eyes almost like Ditrichocorycaeus aucklandicus.
Spotted riding a lobate ctenophore (possibly Bolinopsis or Mnemiopsis sp. ).
A small unidentified copepod approx 0.7mm long in surface plankton haul off Tiritiri Matangi Island.
Parasitic copepod on leopard shark.

Microscope magnification 100x. Collected using a plankton net of surface and near surface waters.
Only Prostoma species which is actually known in my country. Used objectives: 3.2x,10x and 25x
Tasmanian mountain-shrimp Anaspides richardsoni, Tarn Shelf, Mount Field, Tasmania, April 2015
Caught in a surface plankton haul off Tiri Island. Approx 1mm long.
First time I've seen this one in inshore waters.
Caught in a surface plankton haul off Tiri Island in the Hauraki Gulf.
The long and feathery bristles are there to create resistance to sinking out of the photic zone where its algae food is found.
Found underwater in creek. When opened there was a yellow larva.
This observation is about the nematode on the mite
Attached to N.P. spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi) caught while longlining.
From what I observed they were only attached to the top side of pectoral fins and only 1 per dogfish. 11 out of 12 observed were on the right pectoral. It was quite hard to tell the ratio as I wasn’t able to check every dogfish throughout the day but once I noticed them on the fin, they appeared to be fairly common.
Habitat small, temporary pool.
Image 1 shows left lateral anterior of male.
Image 2 shows male cercopods with the distinctive distal spines.
Image 3 shows female cercopods.
Image 4 shows male left antenna II. Need to look closely to see the small protrusion between the thumb's main ramus and the spur.
Image 5 shows male frontal appendage to be entire, not cleft.
Image 6 shows ova.

Habitat montane pool.
Image 1 shows the male, ventral view.
Image 2 shows the female, ventral view.
Image 3 shows the male's 5th pair of legs, posterior view.
Image 4 shows process on antepenultimate segment of the male's right first antenna.
Image 5 shows the female's 5th pair of legs.
Habitat small, alpine, astatic pool.
This arctic species was reported from this pool in 1968 by R.S. Anderson, probably arriving in Alberta via resting eggs contained in the feces of migrating waterbirds.
Image 1 shows the male, ventral view.
Image 2 shows the female, ventral view.
Image 3 shows the male's 5th pair of legs, posterior view.
Image 4 shows the process on the antepenultimate segment of the male's right first antenna, projecting past the terminal segment.
Image 5 shows a ventral view of the female's genital segment with lateral protrusions, and the ovisac.

Поймана в заливе Седова на Новой Земле, на глубине 150 м. 63 рейс НИС "Академик Мстислав Келдыш".
El color es muy llamativo, como una llama de fuego moviéndose entre la vegetación. Muy difícil de fotografiar.
Brine-shrimp Parartemisia zietziana, male, Tunbridge, Tasmania, October 2020
This high magification macro photo is of a female and male pair of the bopyrid parasite (likely) Pseudione galacanthae.
The female is ripe with eggs (the swollen cream colored abdomen), the male lives as a tiny parasite on the female - seen crawling on top of the lower-mid section of the female. Bopyrid parasites are highly modified isopods that infect various crabs and shrimps.
This particular mating pair was found inside the gill chamber of the squat lobster Munida quadrispina.
Oryidae (Soil Centipedes). Photographed west of Balsas, Amazonas Department, Peru on 30 October 2015.
Flinders Island cave-slater Echinodillo cavaticus. The world has only two known species of the very distinctive Echinodillo cave-slaters. One is found on the Marquesas Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This other species is known only from a small cave in southern Flinders Island, where its entire global range is measurable in square metres. We found this one during our Bush Blitz on Flinders Island in March 2014.
