Image of Limnoria Leach 1814
Description:
Limnoria lignorum, about 3 mm long on the left and 2.5 mm long on the right, found boring into wood on Rialto Beach. These specimens are dried ones found within the cast-up driftwood. Several lighter particles or pustules are clinging to the dorsal pleotelson of the individual on the left--a phenomenon seen on several individuals. (Photo by: Dave Cowles)
