Female with brood pouch suspended between her last pair of legs. End of the season, this was the only fairy shrimp of the day. And yay for citizen science, I was the persistent eager beaver that found it! ID'd by experts, not me... ;-) NOTE: A permit is required to enter the water or sweep it with a net. Fortunately we were deputized by none other than the author of a field guide to the area (has a permit and was our supervisor). She was coaching a team from US Fish & Wildlife Service. All my IDs for the water creatures are from her. Everyone was super kind, and I greatly appreciate their including and educating us for the morning.
