(The specimens that is!)

 

 

USNM visitor Milena Benavides (Colombia) and Newsletter site designer Susan Hottenrott (right) display two of the collection's sizable sea stars.

Milena is holding a Luidia superba A.H. Clark from the Galapagos.

Susan is holding Tethyaster vestitus (Say)

 

One specimen of Luidia superba is on public display at the USNM, as a representative of the Galapagos fauna (the display is in association with the Smithsonian's new 3-D IMAX production on the Galapagos). Click image for information about the show!
