Triops

Today I was at VilVite senteret in Bergen for a lecture in biochemestry (MOL100) and evolution and ecology (BIO110), and as I was there my attention was drawn against their little souvenir shop with lot of different science products for children. And before I got to think I stood there with a box with Tripos sp. eggs.

After what I have fund out after loots of reading about care for these little creatures it seems like have got my hands on the species Triops longicaudatus. But I wouldn't know for sure before they hatch.

So when I came home this evening I filled a box with water and added half of the box with eggs, and after what I have read I just have to wait in 24-48 hours before I will see them swimming around.
