Triops

We have a pet Triops that lives in our kitchen. He is cute, has three eyes, and looks sort of like a horseshoe crab. He is sort of elusive and small, so it was difficult to photograph him. We had two Triops, but one died and then this guy ate his dead body. Gross, right? But, that is what they do. Jason didn't name our pets because they only live for 90 days or so, but I have ended up calling this guy, "Triops Friend," as in, "Have you fed the Triops Friend today?"
