The smallest haplognathid currently known to science. Athyrmidion imagiglacialis<\/em> can be found on an incredibly specialized host entity: Miniature doll-size plastic bags. The first recorded specimen was\u00a0 discovered by field researcher P. Marder of Victoria, Australia, who found it attached to a miniature bag of plastic play-ice<\/a>.Other eyewitness accounts of this eye-straining occlupanid have simultaneously been reported, possibly due to its method of global transmission via international shipping. A small single process on the aboral edge is sometimes found on specimens, which have been observed in both white and asureus<\/em><\/a> and rutilus<\/a><\/em> color morphs. It has also been observed on miniature bags of plastic bagels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
