Nauplius (larva)

From Freepedia

A nauplius is the larva of many kinds of crustaceans. It consists of a head and a telson; the thorax and abdomen have not developed yet. It has three pairs of appendages with which it swims; these become, in the adult, the antennules, the antennae, and the mandibles.
