Subject: Utric trap mimic

I was looking through a CP book (can't remember which one) and saw a photo
of an aquatic Utric trap and a water flea side by side. The similarity
between the two was remarkable from their shape to the branches at the top
of the head.

Is there some kind of mimicry going on here? If so which one is doing the
mimicing?

Has anybody else noticed this before?
