Do any bugs live in the ocean? Short answer: Not really.

Crustaceans and insects share a common ancestor, but bugs are happier on land.

First dive of the year done, and i sure have missed it. The highlight became the Norway king crab that showed up as we got down to the bottom.
Oh and it was 0 C in the surface waters, so real cold on the safety stop afterwards.

shrimp seems to be almost any #crustacean that isn't a lobster, barnacle, or crab

Working on my fursona(isopod), might post more sketches later. 🥺👉👈
