My Contribution to the Public _ not Pubic _ Domain

This diagram is a contribution to the public domain (provenance details after the "More").

A crabby ending:

The crabs story ran Friday, any concerns about tastelessness to the contrary.

Reader Mrtn (would that be Marten, Maarten, or Martin?):

Kees Moeliker sent me an email afterward to let me know that after the publicity, he has had a phone call from a public health regional office in Haarlem, offering him a sample crab louse.

All's well that ends well, I suppose.
