Eulimnadia texana, the Texas clam shrimp or desert shrimp, is a species belonging to the Limnadiidae family.[2]
It is endemic to North America. It is an arid land specialist, living for many years as a cyst and bursting into life at the arrival of rains, maturing rapidly in temporary pools and producing eggs that can remain dormant until the next rains occur, perhaps in many years time.
