This bugger is probably the coolest thing you'll see all day, and never in one of your own. The sea spiders live at the bottom of the Antartic and use their proboscis to literally suck the juices (icepops?)
from sponges and whatever else is in the freezer.



It looks like a miniture face hugger, an original evolution case, did I mention it has no eyes?
