Did You Know?

Giant Water Flea

This is not a space alien, even though it has a transparent body, wings, and a very large eye.  Giant water fleas grow up to 2 cm long, and are a food source for small fish that shelter in the sound. 

You can swim with them in the sound-side waters off Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
