Acro Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Why is Cubaris murina called the "Little Sea Isopod"? Are these found by the ocean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I think murina means mouse but somebody found the originals in Florida (almost everything there is not too far from the ocean) and originally confused the species name with marina.
