How can this be true ?

As far as i recall...the woodlouse lives under a rock in my garden and the shrimp lives a thing called the Ocean !!

Woodlice are also related to lobsters, though a woodlouse bisque does nothing for me........

I'm sure it's a dim and distant relationship. If you go far enough back, we're related to a small blob of spittle found on the end of the nose of the greater black-backed spittle monster. Or was it a banana?

If you look at trilobites (spelling?), IIRC, they look enormously like an aquatic woodlouse. Perhaps this is the link? *goes to look up trilobites*

Hey - woodlice have gills! There can't be too many permanent land-dwellers with those (politicians aside)!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY !!

THANK YOU  very much...so..about a zillion years ago a two primordial shrimp/woodlouse's were doing what they did... when one got sneezed on by a greater black-backed spittle monster and the other ' made it ' with a banana !..and from that day on the two went their separate ways............well...I'm convinced !!
