IN PRAISE OF....THE ISOPOD because the more legs the better and you probably wish you had eyes like that except you are not as cool

Recently these creatures were talked about on another thread. Someone suggested they should have their own thread and I couldn't agree more. In fact, I insist. I think these things absolutely rule. I guess there's probably only so many pictures of them on the internetz but I'd like to look at lots of pictures of them so if anyone can hook me up...

p.s. this is not "Isopod porn".

Isopod, Usopod, Wesopod.

aaah, Bimble I heart you so much, you have given me the biggest laugh of this morning.

They look like creepy alien creeps and they creep me out.

I mean, the label claims it's a "skalbagge", which seems to be Swedish for "beetle", but that's no beetle, right?

Anyway. Isopods rule. All hail bathynomus giganteus. More pics please!

This thread needs video!

You didn't specify giant isopods, right? So others are welcome too? Like this cute tongue-eating one?

HI GUYZ

http://www.entomologia.org/bugs_in_the_news/Cymothoa_exigua.jpg

Gotta say I feel a bit glum for these fellers marooned on dry land. Sure they'd rather be on the ocean floor snacking on a dead dolphin, than taking enforced shore leave with some hominid douchebags.

One of them tongue ones will be on display in the -ahem- horniman museum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymothoa_exigua

That tongue eating one is so wrong on so many levels. The fish has teeth like a human, for a start. Eurgh eurgh eurgh.

we need to reign this thread back. how 'bout a nice picture of a cute harmless woodlouse?

AWWWW - look how cute isopod kitte puppie podpole calve podlings are:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/2328727534_096ecc3026.jpg

I don't know what to say except I love these critters and I want them to be happy on dry land or water or wherever they're supposed to hang out.

^ one of those tongue-eating freaks in a fish's mouth.

And that is why they say not to look a gift fish in the mouth.

the girl in the pic elvis telecom posted with the isopod and the t-shirt is actually someone I know.

what's funny is that they're just giant underwater rolly pollies basically
