Roly Polies (an isopod) are fascinating, accessible, common, and adorable. That's why GPNC naturalist Amanda Alessi adores them. What more do you want from a critter--important ecological roles, strange habits, diversity, crazy parasitic relationships? One word: isopods!! These tiny cute animals make Amanda's case for turning over rocks and digging in the dirt an easy sell.
