Case of the Week 692

 This week's case is a bit different in that it wasn't actually alive. Instead, it is a stunning glass artwork of an object that is important in the world of human clinical parasitology. What am I showing here?




This amazing work is by Jane Hartman (@trilobiteglass). You can find her Etsy shop HERE! (Posted with permission)

Beautiful job. It is a copepod (possibly Cyclops) of great importance in the transmission of parasites such as Dibothriocephalus and Dracunculus.
