Close-up image of a gammarid, a type of amphipod crustacean, showing its segmented, translucent body with clear, articulated appendages. It has a prominent compound eye and multiple antennae on its head. The creature's internal structures are visible due to its transparent exoskeleton, set against a plain blue background. Gammarids are common in aquatic environments and play an important role in the ecosystem as detritivores.
