A couple of the new buddies were hanging out by the wall and I managed to get a vid of this one cleaning their antenna ❤️

You can do it buddies! Survive! Thrive! Multiply!!

I've been restraining myself from talking too much about my terrariums on here, trying to keep this blog more about wild observations. But then I'm like, okay but my blog is named Microcosmic Observations so how are terrariums not on theme?? Now that I have isopods my self restraint is crumbling. They are adorable and ridiculous. How could I not share the joy they bring me with others?

Anyway here's a lil guy munching on a tree moss (Climacium sp.) branch.

Isopods when you try really hard to raise/breed them: This dirt is too brown im gonna kms Isopods when you randomly toss them in your lizard tank: I WILL HAVE 100 CHILDREN TO BUILD MY EMPIRE!!!!! THIS IS MY DOMAIN TO CONQUER!!!! I WILL LIVE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!!!!

Thai Spiky Isopod

Family: Armadillidae Scientific Name: Isopoda sp. Adults : 0.5-1.2 cm

Just look at their little spikes!!! 😍 I didn't know the family name of these little potato bugs/rolly pollies (New York names) until a few days ago and I can't stop saying it.

Armadillidae. (arm-uh-dilly-day) It's really just the -dillidae that gets me. 😆

A lot of the information out there has more to do with keeping them in terrariums so I'm still on the lookout for more "scientific" information. 🤔

I love waking up and seeing what the isopods are up to. The terrarium is on the shelf right next to my bed :-)

I wasn't expecting my isopods to be so comically territorial over mealworm chunks. They usually just ignore each other. (Sorry for the focus going in and out - I got a new camera and have no idea what I'm doing.)

Here’s some blurry pictures of one of my dairy cow isopods!
