Acro 22 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 I just found out that some isopods will glow under UV light! (Trichorhina tomentosa pictured, from dartknightexotics.com) Are there any other species that do this??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Allpet Roaches 117 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 I tried all my big species and never saw a hint. I never thought to look at either Trichorhina. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
