    “It has lousy swimming capabilities and gravid females — females with eggs and juveniles in her pouch — are especially non-agile. This is in contrast to some species [of the same family of isopods] which are free-living and can occur in such large numbers that they can deflesh a fish or body entirely.”

    Solid louse joke…although technically an isopod. I’ll never look at a rolly polly the same…
