    It's freaky to see the black "pupil" that absorbs all light in and ao has no reflection.
    Kind of like a miniature black hole

      @@Pixel_scribes Relevent here it describes the impact of viscose forces of flow for a specific reference and given that these guys are so small they can never escape the laminar world. This drastically defined how they (fly) through the medium and allows for much simpler geometry for propulsion.
      In fact at rest Re is irrelevant but it's fascinating to see what such flows alow for 'designs' of propulsion.

      Seems likely. This creature only hunts at night. It put a whole lot of resources into growing its huge eye. Eyes are complex and "expensive". If a breeding population adapts to living in a cave it won't take many generations to lose eyesight.
      If I understood the description correctly, this water flea has 500 light sensitive cones. That is enough to form images and to identify motion.
      The eyes have to be good for something significant in their native habitat. Finding food, avoiding becoming food, or mate selection.

      That’s a Copepod, they move like that because at those scales it’s harder to push water with that surface area, so they flick their antennae to move through the water in a really fast movement and then they lose momentum to the water, and then they flick again. If you have a pond or stream nearby you can find them and look at them do it, don’t even need a microscope if your eyes are good enough. (You won’t see their antennae just with your eyes though)

    Is it a reasonable guess that the ancestor of these guys and other crustaceans looked more like the macroscopic crustaceans, with two eyes? I'm curious how a change as drastic as having 2 eyes turn into one in the middle and right at the tip of its head happens (might be easier if they don't actually use that eye as a primary sense)
