RE: The Wild & Creepy Tenants - The Master of Survival & The Unstable Aviator
Fantastically informative. I knew woodlice were crustaceans but I never considered that meant they came from ocean dwelling creatures.
Yeah, I was very surprised myself when I read about it! I was certain that they were insects!
I knew they weren't insects and that they were crustaceans but I had never thought about the fact that crustaceans are generally sea creatures like lobsters. They do look very insect like though. I think this is an example of convergent evolution. They have similar niches to certain types of beetles and so have evolved similar adaptations.
Yeah, prawns, shrimps, crayfish, crabs. They are all crustaceans :-)
I'm glad to hear that my articles can teach something interesting :-)
