Images of species taken on lowershore at Wherry Rocks, Wherrytown, Penzance, Cornwall. 28.09.11; and at other locations near Penzance.

This species is very small, much smaller than other isopods featured here. It's the kind of species you find in the background of images after taking a picture of something else. Of course when you look at the images at home it's often too late to photograph properly. The species here was captured whilst using a fine sieve to strain Nebalia species from seawater.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
