PMID 31270537. So where does the term "menstruation lobster" even come from anyway? Well there's no real consensus on who coined the phrase, but the story has some interesting roots. Someone online shared a photo of a little lobster statue holding a plate full of period products and they called it the " menstruation lobster station". Huys, Rony (2003).

Most crustaceans are aquatic, living in either marine or freshwater environments, but a few groups have adapted to life on land, such as terrestrial crabs, terrestrial hermit crabs, and woodlice. Marine crustaceans are as ubiquitous in the oceans as insects are on land. [23] [24] Most crustaceans are also motile, moving about independently, although a few taxonomic units are parasitic and live attached to their hosts (including sea lice, fish lice, whale lice, tongue worms, and Cymothoa exigua, all of which may be referred to as "crustacean lice"), and adult barnacles live a sessile life – they are attached headfirst to the substrate and cannot move independently. Some branchiurans are able to withstand rapid changes of salinity and will also switch hosts from marine to non-marine species. [25] :672 Krill are the bottom layer and the most important part of the food chain in Antarctic animal communities. [26] :64 Some crustaceans are significant invasive species, such as the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, [27] and the Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus. [28] Since the piercing of the Suez Canal, close to 100 species of crustaceans from the Red Sea and the Indo-Pacific realm have established themselves in the eastern Mediterranean sub-basin, with often significant impact on local ecosystems.

In fact, we have menstruation crustacean stations. Yep, this is a decorating trend you could really sink your claws into. Crustaceans exhibit a number of larval forms, of which the earliest and most characteristic is the nauplius. This has three pairs of appendages, all emerging from the young animal's head, and a single naupliar eye. In most groups, there are further larval stages, including the zoea (pl. zoeæ or zoeas [34]). This name was given to it when naturalists believed it to be a separate species. [35] It follows the nauplius stage and precedes the post-larva. Zoea larvae swim with their thoracic appendages, as opposed to nauplii, which use cephalic appendages, and megalopa, which use abdominal appendages for swimming. It often has spikes on its carapace, which may assist these small organisms in maintaining directional swimming. [36] In many decapods, due to their accelerated development, the zoea is the first larval stage. In some cases, the zoea stage is followed by the mysis stage, and in others, by the megalopa stage, depending on the crustacean group involved. Gollasch, Stephan (October 30, 2006).

Each somite, or body segment can bear a pair of appendages: on the segments of the head, these include two pairs of antennae, the mandibles and maxillae; [5] the thoracic segments bear legs, which may be specialised as pereiopods (walking legs) and maxillipeds (feeding legs). [6] Malacostraca and Remipedia (and the hexapods) have abdominal appendages. All other classes of crustaceans have a limbless abdomen, except from a telson and caudal rami which is present in many groups. [11] [12] Love, love, love Sid, the Sloth! (Yes, I named him.)
