Whada' ya' callit #2

Postby bronzzhorse » Jul 8, 2011 9:22 am

Ok, one more..... I know it is a troglobyte, but does anyone know what kind?? Found at the Terminal Sump in Worley's / Morrell cave. Less than 1/4 inch long. Found in small rimstone pools in only one place in the cave (that we know of). There were about 20 of them, but all except this one scattered when our lights hit them. Stayed in the water even when trying to escape our light. Any ideas??

It looks like an isopod, but hard to say for sure at that magnification.

When you open the pic, you can click on it again and get it in "uber close-up".
