Triops to undergo a process called Parthogenesis

It is a common occurrence for female Triops to undergo a process called Parthogenesis or asexual reproduction. Female Triops produce eggs which have thick shells and can survive long periods of extreme weather conditions. Such may be the reason for the Triops’ success in existing for millions of years.
