Lysosquilla maculata - Mantis Shrimp
Lysosquilla maculata is just one of several species of very awesome mantis shrimp. I’ve loved these guys ever since I saw a video of one break an aquarium on board a research vessel, and it got washed back out to sea. Bad. Ass. They are fascinating creatures.
The Oatmeal totally knows what I’m talking about. Check out the comic.
