Sukalensis mipensis
A 2.5-5cm white Sukopod living in marine waters. S. mipensis has a 7 segmented body. The first segment is the head which has a pair of chemosensitive and mechanosensitive antennae and a mouth that is developed in a curved sucking tube. The second through fifth segments each have one pair of three-segmented legs that end in a point foot. The final two segments lack appendages. The body is mostly rounded at the front and comes to a point at the back.
S. mipensis feeds on Algeayans and various single-celled microbes. S. mipensis will utilize Raikos electra that it eats to build up electrical charge. S. mipensis is able to detect electrical fields using mechanoreceptors in the antennae. The electrical charge that an individual has is used to signal to potential mates that they are ready to breed. Consequently, S. mipensis seeks out areas with higher abundance of Raikos when they are preparing to reproduce.
After mating the female will seek out areas with high abundance of Algeayans to lay her eggs. She usually lays 10-20 eggs at a time. The larvae will hatch in 2 months. The larvae are 0.6cm long and have 4 body segments with 2 pairs of legs. The larvae will molt two times gaining one segment and one pair of legs each time. Once they have a lot of nutrients stored they will crawl down to the substrate and bury themselves before molting again sending them into the pupal stage. The pupae are immobile, segmented, oblong, and round with a curved point at one end. The pupal stage is when they develop the adult reproductive organs and the seventh segment where they are housed. They will also sequester metals into the skin beneath the exoskeleton to increase the body capacitance for when they store electricity as adults. After 3-4 weeks they will emerge as adults.
