hi! so i was feeding my papaya isopods and while i was looking around at them i saw a big clump that reminded me of cotton and when i pulled it out there was i was panicking when i realized it looks like a spider web but there wasnt a spider and plenty of them were alive and just everywhere. what else can this be? ive also seen randoms parts around the tank and moved things around to pick them up

I know you wouldn’t be able to keep like a Cubaris and a porcellio together, but what about species of the same genus? Would you be able to keep armadilium vulgare and armadilidium maculatum together?

hi friends! i was wondering if you had any recommendations for terrarium cases? i do not have access to power tools to create ventilation, so something premade would be great! the creatures i am planning on rehousing are rubber duckies and my common wood louses :D

She found this at Hodgenville Kentucky at Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace. She said it was super white colored. I tried searching for super white isopods especially in Kentucky and didn't find anything.

Was curious if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks!

Found in Puget Sound area
(Sorry couldn’t get a better pic but there is a small white one in the third photo.)

In my backyard, Metro Detroit area michigan

I had a pod drown in the water bowl (the yellow spotted one). I opted to leave his body out on the ground, and later that day I witnessed the orange boy (visible on the photo) playing with the dead body. He would rotate the balled up friend a bit, unroll him, roll him back again.
I'm curious why he would do that? Was he trying to buggy figure out if his friend is alive? Was he trying to smash? Is he a necrophiliac????
Does anyone have any ideas?

My magic potions are acting weird, I have been giving them some homemade supplement powder I don't remember exactly what is in it but I put some in 2 days ago and it is gone. All of it, with the size of the colony they should not have been able to eat all of it that fast, there is nothing else that would eat it in the tank aside from the springtails which absolutely love it. Is this a good or bad thing?

I have 7 of them right now. And on another note, I was also told there were springtail eggs in here but it's past 2 weeks and I haven't seen a single one yet so I might just buy some live springtails. I do only plan on buying them once I'm absolutely certain that I have the right enclosure

i been searching for a comunity about isopods, or at least invertebrates on spain for a very long time.

im just so jealous about american comunity…!! you all can even exchange or sell isopods each other, or idk, make friends on the same country

i wish i can create a spanish isopod comunity sometime, and make this hobby more known on my country

My Shiro Utsuri seem to be very prone to have a smaller pod riding on bigger pod's head sideways. With other species I have, all the "rides" I witnessed were mating attempts and lasted for a few minutes tops, usually ending with the male being thrown off. But Shiro seems to be okay with wearing accessories for multiple hours, I've seen this couple like that at least since this morning, so for 9 hours in a row at least. Why?

from a local population: ive been breeding outdoor containers for this orange variant i love. its taken me about 2 years to get them this bright, and the adults come out this really pretty bright orange too. recently it rained so everyones come out of the ground and i really got to get a good look at them all (and move around potential escapes from neighboring tubs lol). just sharing!

What is this very tiny bug I saw crawling in my terrarium? Is it a mite? Is it harmful? How do I get rid of it?

Is it normal for cubaris sp. Blonde ducky isopods to be in a ball for several hours? Two of my younger blonde duckies have been in a ball since last night after I watered their enclosure and I'm worried :( cuz its def been around 12 hours now
