Backyard moon take 2


I've been reading a book about the  industry of horseshoe crab lysate.  Horseshoe crabs see in the moonlight to find their mates.  They can actually see better at night than during the day - one article I read said that the better vision is triggered by an internal clock, not the light level.  That is too bad as I found the idea of good moonlight vision quite compelling.

See how interesting the horseshoe crab is!
