Daniel Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi! Have allways loved isopods but I have just recently started collecting them. At the moment I keep the following species: Armadillidium maculatus, Armadillidium sp "monte negro", Armadillidium granulatum "brown", Porcellio expansus, Porcellio bolivari, Cubaris sp (Malaysia) and some more species that I mostly keep as feeders. Im planning to go out and collect some Armadillidium pictum because I know of a place nearby where I can find them. If someone wish to trade some species just let me know.

Hisserdude Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Very nice collection of isopods, most of what I have are the more common backyard species, love the Armadillidium sp. "Montenegro" and the Spanish Porcellio species, (especially P.bolivari)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oniscus asellus might bee just a backyard species but your Mardi gras dalmatian variety is not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 The talk about backyard species made me go to a rockpile near my home and collect a dozen Porcellio spinicornis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
