👉 Leptophryidae is a family of crustaceans that includes many species commonly found in freshwater ecosystems, such as snails and crabs. These animals are known for their ability to reproduce sexually through the female's egg-laying system, which differs from male-to-male reproduction in many ways. Leptophyrs are notable for their unique reproductive strategy, which involves developing a larval stage that is capable of reproducing without external assistance.
