Isopod (sow/pill bugs) Armadillidium nasatum

[BringontheBugs]

I got two out of my culture, however the really bright orange one was nowhere to be found (likely hiding in the substrate and I did not want to crush any isopods there trying to find it).

They appear more brown than orange in my photos due to my interior lighting, and I was unable to adjust it to be more lifelike - although hopefully they are good enough for identification. Also I noticed several other isopods in my culture that appear the same as the ones below, but were almost the typical Armadillidium vulgare gray. So perhaps some are just a color morph of their species.

...

Yep look exactly like the ones I had, so they should be scaber.

Sweet I'll have to see about finding some more and starting a culture with them, and hopefully get them to express the coloration more with their babies.
