Field Notes
Description:
Isopoda ("isopods") is an order of peracarid crustaceans, including familiar animals such as woodlice and pill bugs. The name Isopoda derives from the Greek roots ἴσος (iso-, meaning "same") and ποδός (podos, meaning "foot").[1] The fossil record of isopods dates back to the Carboniferous period (in the Pennsylvanian epoch), at least 300 million years ago.
