    Ligia occidentalis 'western sea-roach'

    semiaquatic members of oniscidea (woodlice) that have an unusual way of breathing air- Their rear pleopods function like a wick-system, they absorb the water, then expel the excess, which is how they rid themselves of excess Co2. Very intelligent, gregarious and alert. they can jump well.
