Neptune's bedbug

Here's a recently found specimen of one VERY strange creature, the Bathynomus giganteus. They normally live deep in ocean waters. This thing, which looks like a tick designed by H.R. Giger, is creepy-looking enough to give one nightmares! Just imagine finding one in bed with you...
