she’s got eyestalks! she knows how to use them! or maybe not

check out this crazy thing!! the zz top of lobsters…

it’s so crazy, in fact, that they created not only a new species, but a new genus and family as well (remember the taxonomy? King Phillip Came Out From Going Swimming… Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species)

it’s also blind, although it appears to have eyestalks… or maybe those are feelers. i also like how the family name kiwaida comes from kiwa, the goddess of crustaceans in polynesian mythology.
