ID Needed  8/13/07
Hi.
This little creature from the coast of Maine (Bailey Island) on a
mussel shell is 3.7mm long. Can you please ID?
Thanks,
David Reed
<Interesting... appears to be a crustacean of some sort... any chance for an image of the underside (to show its legs?)... almost looks like a juvenile Limulus with the single trailing "tail". Bob Fenner>

Re: ID Needed  8/13/07
Here are a couple more shots taken when it crawled onto my finger.
