	The range of Triops newberryi

Triops newberryi is a species of Triops found on the western coast of North America, commonly in valleys throughout the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and small areas of Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Mexico, with at least one disjunct population in Kansas.[1] They are found in vast numbers though in the Coachella Valley in California.[2] T. newberryi has been reported to have potential as a biocontrol agent for larval mosquitoes breeding in seasonally-flooded habitats.[2] T. newberryi is genetically distinct from T. longicaudatus, the dominant species in the Central United States.[1]

In Captivity

Though Triops newberryi is the species most likely to be encountered in the wild on the west coast of North America, it is far less common than Triops cancriformis and Triops longicaudatus in captivity, and is considered a more 'exotic' species among hobbyists.

gollark: So you can then determine where they are and just offset all your returned positions by a constant factor to set their position fix to where you want it to be.

gollark: As the sole GPS server, it is trivial to use exactly the same maths to determine where a client is when they ping (since CC GPS, unlike in reality, works by having clients ping the server when they want a fix).

gollark: Plus all kinds of weird error sources.

gollark: You get time *differences* in real life since the clocks aren't synced.

gollark: It's harder than that.
