    Default SPI mantis

    Took a trip to South Padre Island. The local fishermen call these guys "sea lice". They come up in their nets frequently.

    Thought I would share some pics...looks like Lysiosquillina glabriuscula to me.

    they also call them ghost shrimp. they have a special tube apparatus to suck them up from the sand, and use them for bait.
