Art for the graceful Fairy Shrimp and its people. These cuties are often unseen but they could be in your backyard. Who knows unless you look? 👀 #fairyshrimp #animal #art #lovetheunloved

Providence led us to a zoologist on a vernal pool study. She showed us the catch of the day - fairy shrimp (pink) and mosquito larvae (black). Such as these make up Michigan's Circle of Life.

From my foray this weekend. Springtime Fairy Shrimp (Eubranchipus vernalis). This male has claspers to grasp the female in mating. They live briefly in Spring cold waters of vernal pools, eating algae & tiny critters.

This week's field find is an Eastern Fairy Shrimp (Eubranchipus vernalis) spotted in the vernal pools in Heartland Forest, Niagara Falls, by one of our Volunteer Corps.
Did you know that fairy shrimp are only found in vernal pools as they provide safe habitat from fish?🦐

I'm still trying to find out about the sway those somewhat fringe environmentalists have over the stormwater policies. I only know about the tortoise people, the fairyshrimp people, and the packrat people.

All these winter rains have me dreaming about fairy shrimp 🦐
Hopefully I can get some surveys in this year 🤞
