A class of small aquatic arthropods (related to crustaceans) characterized by having leaf-like limbs used for swimming and filter-feeding.
From Greek 'eu-' (good/well), 'phyllon' (leaf), and 'pous/podos' (foot), literally meaning 'good leaf-foot,' referring to their distinctive paddle-like appendages.
Euphyllopods are tiny creatures with names that sound like fantasy races—they're ancient arthropods that have remained virtually unchanged for 500 million years, living fossils with poetic names!
