Which isopod are *you* feeling like today? (tag yourself.)
I feel like a creeper tbh.
Saw this on tumblr and tracked down the original source: Invertebrate Biodiversity as Bioindicators of Sustainable Landscapes
Maurizio G. Paoletti, Mark Hassall, 1999
Please take note. (If you read the alt you'd know psha anyway) Please note that it's the runner, clinger and roller forms that tend to get caught in pit-fall traps. The lesson here is obvious.
Creep
Be Spiny
Do NOT conform.
... or ... well knowing the ways of isopods it could also be the three forms in the second row are much less common.
That could also be the "lesson" ... but, nah. Let's not dwell on that.
@futurebird Roller, tbh.
@futurebird somewhere between spiny and creeper.
@futurebird roller. I had a conversation with someone this morning, and now I'd like to roll up into a ball and stay that way for at least a week.
@futurebird I’m slowly morphing from runner to clinger to roller over the years
@futurebird
Clinger, maybe roller.
@futurebird roller, I think. I’m so tired from a blood donation. Would prefer to locomote without legs
@futurebird Non-conformist
@futurebird Feeling spiny today.
@futurebird I'm rollin' with my cylindrical-when-tucked iso-bros.
@futurebird I’m feeling sassy today - so non-conformist
@futurebird spiny form for life
@futurebird rapidly vacillating between runner and clinger caught in a pit-fall trap feels like my life for the last decade.
@futurebird What is "psha"?
That noise you make when you think someone ought to know better?
"You think that will work? psha! good luck" etc etc
@futurebird i am ALWAYS spiny.
@futurebird funny. This weekend was so cringe for me that I felt like a pill bug. I see I'm in good company
@futurebird
Spiny - feelin prickly and defensive
@futurebird roller (into a ball). Brain has been lagging behind today and I would like to go back to bed, please.
@futurebird
Creeper?
Awww maaaan.
