Life is a continuous transformation.
Unfortunately I dont know the family of the crustacean, the species etc., but the picture is speaking for itself.
Brightfield, objective 4, nocturnal seaplankton.

Franz,
From your intense interests in copepods, I suspect you are a meneber of the World Society of Copepodologists at http://www.monoculus.org/

Being a freshwater observer I only see three or four species over a years time.

Hello Olympusman,

thank you for your information, but this is not a copepod of course, but probably a member of the Mysidaceae (Crustacea).
