This worm just won’t die.
It’s unclear whether or not this is the same hydrothermal worm from last month, but it definitely appears to be just as vicious.
This view is again terrifying, even beyond the razor-sharp teeth. Are those tiny curly devil horns on its head?!
The image, also captured by Philippe Crassous and was taken with a magnification of 58x, at a width of two millimeters, according to the posting on Flickr.
This is really creepy, even in pink, and leads me to grant this marine creature with official “scary” status.
Can’t get enough magnified images? Check out this one of mosquito eyes, or these really cool electron microscope images.
