Help! What huge nocturnal worm could be living in my #isopod enclosure if I did not invite it there?
I got these isopods months and months ago from a distant acquaintance, and some springtails from a local rando.
I JUST saw this worm thing for the first time and it disappeared into the dirt when I turned on the lights. So I don't have a pic.
It was about the diameter of a pencil or a tad slimmer and pretty long with whitish/tan-ish and brown stripes/segments. Didn't get a better look.
😫

Having fun transferring springtails from one #isopod enclosure to the other to even things out.
They live up to their name and SPRING off the "bus" 🚌 (a leaf where lots of them were crawling around) and onto my shirt or my desk on the way to the other enclosure.
It's entertaining to try to herd them onto a piece of paper or my finger and get them back to their destination.
Also it kinda hurts my eyes to squint this hard at them. They are like 1 mm 😂
Is this where the Benthic Wisdom Sect meets?
If so, I will stand in the back and listen to these most important detrivore stridulations of the tiny sisters.
On this dive, we found pipefish, sculpin, a *tiny* rock gunnel, and an arctic lyre crab in full camo garb. The highlight was easily the juvenile boxfish!

Wow, pretty bold of my orange powder #isopod to stand on the highest lone peak in its enclosure to molt.
It was up there like Mufasa a minute ago.
So there's a bunch of bot accounts that post animal photos every hour. Which is all well and good, except that it's the usual suspects - cats, dogs, wolves... I think I saw one for possums, but I'm not sure.
But where's all the cool "not the same boring fuzzy mammals" photo bots? I humbly request more neat #reptiles, and to a lesser extent, what about hourly #isopod , #corvid , and/or #shark photos?
I'd do it myself if I weren't so lazy : /

A woodlouse spider (Dysdera crocata) next to its recent meal. It takes a strong constitution and an even stronger set of chompers to feed on woodlice, but fortunately this species has frankly enormous chelicerae (worth a google)!

I’ve started getting into micro crochet, I’m working on this rubber ducky isopod pattern by LudovicToys. It took me a while and upgrading my tools to get the hang of it but now I’m in the “I can’t stop thinking about crocheting” phase 😅

It is unfathomable to me to think about how such tiny beings can exist and thrive. A "Dairy Cow" isopod, barely any bigger than the nail on my thumb, is alone so small I could never even begin to comprehend living a life on that scale - but then to them to compare their children? Who are nothing short of nearly unnoticeable specks of dust? Impossible, and incredibly astonishing!

Porcellio laevis "Dairy Cow" are certainly prolific breeders, to say the least.

After further research and discovery on my part, I have concluded that the miniscule creatures in my previous post are indeed Porcellio laevis "Dairy Cow" babies!
Other people have also come across the same confusion as it isn't often discussed how similar White Dwarf isopods are to the offspring of Dairy Cows.
This light research of mine was further confirmed today by this incredible, young lady isopod whom I figured at first just seemed a bit strange! A yellow patch was clearly visible from the top of her body, and so I thought to gaze underneath her and... !! Yes !! As of today I can proudly proclaim myself a grandfather. 🎉

Staring straight into the soul of a wise Dairy Cow isopod is certainly a way to end my afternoon. I was surprised by how my camera managed to pick up the rough bumps of this 'pod's face!
Still, after also taking photos of my marvelous Marbelized isopods, I really should consider saving up for a better camera than what's attached to my phone.
