Nature is just incredible. Check out this video of a wavy-rayed lampmussel displaying its fish lure. Female mussels use the technique to attract fish onto which they hope to release larvae. When a fish grabs the lure the mussel releases her larvae, which hitch a ride on the fish as a way to transport themselves upstream. © David & Laura Hughes | West Virginia Nature Conservancy

Come closer.... a little closer....BOOM! 💥 Did you know freshwater mussels shoot their fertilized eggs (glochidia) at passing fish?

Can you spot the mussel? 🥸 The Plain Pocketbook mussel tricks fish by disguising part of its shell as a lure that looks like a small fish or other prey.

These freshwater mussels have all kinds of lures, from fish-shaped to wormy, and even crawfish-like. 📸Calvin Rezac | Mississippi Museum of Natural Science

This is a video clip of a Lampsilis mussel in the Conasauga River in northwest Georgia. She is displaying in order to attract a fish to come and snap at this lure, whereupon the parasitic mussel larvae, Glochidia, will attach to the skin and gills of the unsuspecting host fish! It is an amazing bit of trickery and affords a means of dispersal for this otherwise sedentary animal! After a while, the larval mussels drop off and begin a life of living in the substrate. This one was so noticeable tha
