TW: DEAD INSECT (feeder crickets)

Fed my kids tonight and there was some drama. The giant canyons and woodlice know how to share, and even the little ones have decent access at mealtime, but with the dairy cows, it’s Night of the Living Pods. These crickets were already dead when I bought them and would have likely been thrown away. I stick them in the freezer when I get home for an hour just to be sure.

Native to Europe, and especially the Mediterranean basin, this species is now found throughout the world.

Some critters I've found while bug hunting and herping recently! Always love finding these little friends. Can you identify them all?

Max (m**********5@gmail.com) Found this little guy in wales on a field trip :] wondering if you could identify him?

I can! It’s a woodlouse! Specifically looks like a common shiny woodlouse.

I thought I scooped up two Androniscus dentiger, but this little mama is actually a Trichoniscus pusillus (or provisorius, since she's not so tiny).

The rosy ran over her and flipped her over and she just stayed there, not knowing what to do, bless.

the wildest thing for how common it is on invertebrate ID groups are people who have positively no idea what an isopod is. Like people posting "HELP!!! WHAT are THESE!?!?" and it's a woodlouse or a roly poly. I have never in my life been in any place where some sort of isopod isn't under every single stone or brick or piece of wood on the ground. I'll bet you can find one on any walk in any environment barring the hottest possible sand dunes or solid frozen ice. How does one live more than a couple years on this planet without encountering these creatures.

Poddy paradise :)

They be shy. (ignore the armadillidum on underside HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS TANK)
