I live near 93560 Rosamond California over by Edwards Air Force Base and I’ve been playing with fair shrimp ever since 6/6/1986. When My mother Brought me and my little brother to the property. and put in the well me and my little brother used to collect them out on the dirt road in front of our house and neighbors think I’m a crackpot when I tell them they’re shrimp living in the road until I show them one of the puddles closest thing to fireflies we have 🙂
Thank you, Mike. They’re not just in road puddles. I hope you have had a chance to see them out on the playas of the Mojave Desert, too. Brown and Carpelan, 1971 (see References page), wrote a fascinating article about fairy shrimp in Rabbit Dry Lake, near Lucerne Valley. That article really sparked my interest. All they need is water.
