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

Fig. 1. Some features of terrestrial isopod morphology. Six line drawings of isopods with bold labels giving them types: Runner (Philoscia, an ordinary potato shaped terrestrial isopod) Clinger (Oniscus a more round one) Roller (Synarmadillo pill shaped) Spiny Form (Panningillo, it has spines) Creeper (Haplophthalmus it's narrow and slender) Non-Conformist (Schobela round with short antennae) Ecomorphological categories are modified from Schmalfuss (1984). Most of the specimens collected by pitfall traps belong to the runner, clinger and roller categories.

@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.
