The Giant Isopod

[Malthus]

If they could survive in an aquarium...

... they could survive in a New York sewer.

Okay, maybe not. But I like to think that they are down there, along with the white pot plants and the blind alligators.

Well, I think they should call it "the Tiny Isopod", just to horrify people *more*.  ;D

"Yep, this is one of the small ones right here.  You should see Momma!"

Or simply have the caption of the picture be "just hatched".  8)

Good lord, they really do look just like Sow Bugs.

I wish I could find the Vampire Stripper Pony site so that I could put the pictures here to annoy Tim.

Sow Bugs are crustaceans, not insects, makes perfect sense that form wise they'd look very similar.  Their exoskeletal structure is pretty effective as far as these things go.

imagine it boiled, split in two and dripping with butter.  MMMM good.
