Ashby64 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 There seems to be some disagreement as to whether it's Porcellio magnificus or P. hoffmannseggi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I think Porcellio expansus is bigger than both if you're looking at overall size but many Ligia are bigger than the very biggest Porcello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpack Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I am trying some isopods that I think are smaller, don't recall the name at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Helleria brevicornis may be the bulkiest/heaviest terrestrial species, though rearing full grown adults takes a while compared to the others mentioned here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen an adult Helleria? I've not even seen little ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen pictures of adults, they're really large! And I have a breeding group myself, though they're far from full grown yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingerlakefeeders Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 P mag for sure. P ornatus Nord is an equal in body mass to any P mag or hoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
