Wortdrones

Wortdrones (mariapidae) are a family of isopod found worldwide in the seawort fields. They are heavily sexually dimorphic, with the males being .7 inches compared to females with their . 4 inches in length. They are descended from Idotea Balthica.

They feed on seawort and algae, like pretty much everything else in the seawort fields. However, they play a very unique role in the fields, pollination. The seawort put on small tubular flowers every spring, which contain a sweet wax full of pollen. The wortdrones use these flowers as hiding spots and they are drawn in by the chemical signatures of the flower. The waxy pollen gets stuck on their legs or on their shell and the isopod will transport it to another nearby flower that it hides in while foraging.
