[quote="Clado"]Hello Rogelio,
Compliments for the great pictures, it seems they get ever better.
I do not know whether these images are taken of the same individual?
The side view image of the first series might be of Ceriodaphnia cornuta.
If C. cornuta lives in water with the predator Chaoborus in it too, the waterflea can devellop spines for protection. May be in the fifth image there is such a spine on the right, above the antenna and on the side view picture there is such a spine on the back of the head.
The following link tells more about this phenomenon.
