The Grandest Arthropods

The images are attached since i've collected them over the years.

First we have what a superficial internet search has told me is the largest crustacean the coconut crab.



Then there is the amazing psychedelic mantis shrimp. Some people keep them in domestic aquariums because of the colors.



Next up, a lot of textbooks with sort of north american bias like to show sow bugs/rolly pollies/woodlice as an example of isopods. This makes them look really meek and pathetic. But in Taiwan they raise and eat these giant isoods. With a little research apparently these are the suborder Calabozoida
