    Heads up for the future; not all crustaceans are marine, or even aquatic. Take isopods for instance, aka rollie pollies aka woodlice. Decapods is a better term to describe them all in a neat, generalized category.

      @@sungpark3316 What's the issue? He said the cientific name only. It's not like you would've guessed that. The name doesn't give anything really, unless you were familiar with the name already, and if you were you would've probably figured it out before reading the comment.
