I am Biologist from Germany and enjoyed Your pics from Triops. The animals look kompletly different from Triops cancriformis of our region. I would like to visit the place where you found them. I live southwest of Berlin, Germany and work on "Large Branchiopoda" over some years. Few is known about the distribution & ecology in this region. Together with a friend from Delmenhorst, we try to get more out about the species Lepidurus apus apus, which was very widespread in the flooded meadows at Oder river (border to Poland) until mid of april.
Please be kind & pic up connection with me over this email: bn13465@hotmail.com.
