Hey by the way my isopods are the cutest. These are Oniscus asellus “Mardi Gras.” The cutest black/white morph isopod imo, and the flashes of yellow are fabulous.

I made a quick drawing of Oniscus asellus for a project on my university. We investigated if the speed of the aggregation of woodlice depends on present predators. Apparently, woodlice don’t care about sound, but when their environments starts shaking due to vibrations, they all crawl together to form one big mass of woodlice rather quickly.

At night, just outside my house, lots of woodlice love to hang out. The other night I noticed that several of them had climbed up on straws of grass, and just sat there. @pickledpennies, a long time ago you helped me solve another isopod mystery, any ideas about this behaviour? Or do I have other followers with valuable woodlouse knowledge?

This Skirted Isopod looks a bit beat up, a broken uropod and missing an antenna! I don’t know what happened to it, but it seemed to be getting around just fine anyway.

W/C Oniscus asellus male with some sort of piebaldism.


No one has been able to successfully pass this trait, suggesting it isn't genetic, but why not give it another try?

Dragon next to her daughter, who I guess I'll call Wyvern to be silly. It seems that of the first batch of babies, only she grew big. But thankfully, there are lots of new babies now. Some of them are Winter's, so I will keep hoping for some to color up as piebalds. Dragon is a very big and beautiful lady!
