today i died at sea
i'm a romantic you see
Aega psora
I've had the occasional calm pod delicately nibble at a cuticle (usually they're either playing dead - yes I'm talking about you, Porcellio dilatatus - or kamikazi-ing to the floor - Get back here right now you Philosciid you!) - but this is completely new isopod behaviour. And a bit of a worry.
There are many many parasitic isopods! luckily for you, they are mostly (or entirely?) in the ocean, which is probably not where you spend most of your time, and they mainly go for fish.
Parasites can give people the heebie-jeebies, and for good reason, but I still find them very cool and worth appreciating >((((((:){ (isopod emoticon)
No.
Hard No.
But cute.
But still no.
No.
