Name this Deep Invertebrate

[LeslieH]

Leslie, unfortunately you are looking at the "high resolution" image! I shoot mini-DV video so the largest I can capture from the video is 720x480. Maybe I'll take a photog buddy down there some time.

That would be great. In the meantime, can I download this one? Or would you like to print your name on it first? I always include the photographer's name in the file name.

Go ahead and download it. Not concerned about anything other than commercial use. Scientific or educational uses are fine.

Thanks, Bill. In a timely coincidence, Mike Neubig posted some close ups of the head over at

In his pics the worm (seen from above) is either eating the organic bits off the web or maintaining the web.

Thanks.. I just checked those pix out, Leslie. Do you know how to contact Mike? I'd like to ask him if I can use them in my upcoming newspaper column on this species.

I'll send you a PM with his email.

Simply an amazing critter. Thanks.
