Many lobster enthusiasts don't think much about lobster before it's sitting next to a few scoops of potato salad and a bowl of hot butter. Here's a stage of a lobster's life cycle that we don't get to see quite as often. The CB Lobster twitter account posted a picture of a tiny larval stage lobster. For those not quite sure what that blue object is next to it in the photo, it's a blue band used to restrict the claws on full grown lobsters ready to go to market.
