Such fascinating creatures! If you have missed it so far, don't miss it now - the two-part series by Mark H on DailyKos:
Marine Life Series: Horseshoe Crab Basics
Marine Life Series: Horseshoe Crab Anatomy
One day when I find some time, I'll have to write a long detailed post about the fascinating aspects of the circadian system and vision in the horseshoe crab (oh, some of which was done by Erik Herzog, so you know I like the stuff!).
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

As it happens, before dabbling in sea cucumbers and trekking around Africa, I spent a long time focusing on the elusive and charismatic limulus polyphemus. A species that's been around longer than dinosaurs.. it doesn't get much cooler than that!

Well - there is an idea for a blog post once you come back from Africa.
