Okay, finally, a few isopod pictures.

Here's a side view of an Oreo Crumble, Porcellionides pruinosus.

Here's some Japanese Magic Potions, Armadillidium vulgare.

And here's a very silly Zebra, Armadillidium maculatum.

"Are you looking at me?"

Nope, you can't see me. Goodbye!"

I am curious, I never checked if there's people that like isopods on tumblr, who here has small frens?

Show me your isopods? n.n

It’s Flat Fuck Friday so today’s Isopod Of The Day is

Porcellionides pruinosus

This is a larger family of isopods, which includes the previously mentioned Powder Orange Isopod as well as Powder Blue Isopods and many others

These guys are the isopods of the day because they cannot conglobate, unlike isopods in the armadillidae family. This makes them wonderful flat fucks

isopod update!

one of the porcellionides pruinosus molted and left his shirt on a leaf for his children to find (former shirt-owner pictured in the background) and i fully thought he had been guillotined in a tiny french revolution 😭 then i was like OH he molted. thank goodness

speaking of the p pruinosus, their current baby count is 39 (i just count the ones that i can see without taking the lid off or disturbing them) and the total pod count is over 50 (?!) it’s been less than two months and the 10 adults have really turned on the printing press. the bebbes love hanging out on the cork bark and nibbling the moss!

the american magic potions are still chilling out, they just eat their moss and nap all day. no bebbes, but that might be a good thing haha

Porcellionides Pruinosus being rudely awakened.

They bounce between complete stillness and utter chaos. Beautiful critters.

Got to draw these fellas as commissions, from a bunch of fellas.

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 ❤️
