sealord > This tiny female isopod, Gnathia maxillaris, is attracted by male pheremones to a crevice where it is dragged inside to join a harem of females. The adult female doesn't feed but is a vescile to carry eggs. The production of juveniles ruptures the female and leads to her death. This female was found without eggs on the sea-shore in a crevice with a male at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. The body of the still-living female was completely hollow.
