Our oceans and lakes are filled with copepods, a myriad of small crustacean species that might float as plankton or infect other creatures. And as they’re living in whatever manner best suits them, some copepods become more than just their own creature. They become a surface or a place for someone else (or something else) to settle down upon. Part of the "Journey to the Microcosmos" series.
