Talking of parasitic copepods (see yesterday’s post), this one appeared in my sample a few months back. Check out the ‘straw’ that’s as long as its body. I think this is part of its mouth that it uses to penetrate a host and suck out delicious food. Very cool! #marineplankton 🦑

I think this is awesome! This fella is a parasitic copepod from the family Pennellidae (order Siphonostomatoida). I love a parasite, and I love watching these fellas move! #marineplankton 🦑
