It's the third type of pod - copepod!
Check out the copepods in the bottom corners of this print:
p.s. Ernst Haeckel was a German biologist who drew beautiful illustrations of all kinds of things. Plants, birds, copepods... Beautiful drawings, but it turns out he didn't have a very high regard for perfect accuracy - he did a lot of embellishing in his art, so the real things don't look quite like these :biggrin:
