branchinecta lynchi
I have been learning about fairy shrimp! First I learned you can tell male & females apart by their antennae and then I learned you can tell different species apart by their antennae... that would be the first set of arm looking things coming out of this guy's head - and I've also learned that there are many photos on the web that are mis-labeled or labeled in a very generic manner. And my client for this commission is very attached to these particular little male vernal pool fairy shrimp, and she knows them very well, so this sketch has to be just right, which I totally understand. I hope the third time is the charm!
