Nouveau setup pour mes Panda King 👑 #IsopodsOfMastodon #isopods

I'm deep down the isopod rabbit hole so I was beyond excited when I found some in the forest recently. First time I got to photograph them with my new kit, and hopefully just the beginning of many more photos to come!

I enjoyed presenting my poster at the Ferrara #SMBE23 poster session. Lots of great conversations with interesting people and possible collaborations with people interested in #terrestrialization #evolution of #isopods.

I put some breathable medical tape over all the little holes on my #isopods enclosure and they seem much happier now!

They wanted it to stay a lot more humid than my desert summertime basement with air-conditioning allowed.

Now they are wandering around, hanging out with each other, exploring. Yknow, just roly-poly stuff.

LOL I was thinking "wow have my zebra #isopods even really reproduced since I got them?" because I only see like one or two out and about during the day.

Just picked up the cork bark hide and peeked underneath: there is NO ROOM AT THE INN. Max occupancy reached!! They look like a herd of itty-bitty sleeping zebra-painted volkswagen vans all cuddling together, no room in between each other.

They're so slow, shy, and sleepy compared to my other varieties!

Gotta upgrade their enclosure soon!

My partner is not excited about this delivery. I kept telling him that they’re arthropods and not insects but that hasn’t helped. #Isopods #Terrarium

Just sat and watched my orange powder #isopods eat some fresh food and noticed some cute antics:

- pulling mouthfuls of food out of the big food blob with enough force to slightly shake the blob 🤤

- pushing each other away from the food blob with their back legs with much attitude 😤

- a bigger older one slowly making its way up the cuttlefish bone munching some calcium, not realizing there was a giant delicious blob within reach 🧓🏻

- cleaning their face and legs with their other legs 🧼

@cstross Funding a small ring of conspirators to cause discord may be a remarkably cheap and hard to track means for an enemy to attack a country.

Or it may be Xians.
Or #Isopods .

Found some stowaway #isopods of a different type in my enclosures!!

I scooped them out with what they might refer to as "The Great Spoon in the Sky" and put them in their own tiny enclosure.

I need help identifying what kind they are but they are always burrowed so I can't get pics!

Happy #WoodlouseWednesday!!

Trying to find people to follow and of course my first searches are #isopods and #enamelpins. I might be a boring person.

hog-louse!!

@nev do you think that's a mite by the back foot of the second one on the right there?

Asseln sind Bodenbewohner die sich bevorzugt unter Hölzern, Steinen und Blätter verstecken und kaum zu sehen sind.

Also so rein in der Theorie, hat man nur irgendwie vergessen meinen Asseln zu erklären.

Art: Armadillidium Maculatum
