Clam shrimp eggs are the reproductive eggs produced by clam shrimp, which are small, freshwater crustaceans belonging to the order Laevicaudata, Lynceidae, or Cyclestherida. These eggs are notable for their ability to survive extreme environmental conditions, such as desiccation (drying out) and freezing, which allows clam shrimp to thrive in temporary aquatic habitats like vernal pools, puddles, and seasonal wetlands.
