An unfortunate biological scheduling conflict occurs on the coast of a #Silurian lagoon when #Pseudoniscus #horseshoecrabs and #Eurypterus sea scorpions come to the same beach to mate and spawn. Although they are relatives who share both this behaviour and eyes which lack acuity, but have perfect night vision, the sea scorpions have no qualms about using this accidental meeting to snack on their smaller cousins.
