#armadillidiidae

Common pill woodlouse, Armadillidium vulgare, Armadillidiidae

Native to Europe, and especially the Mediterranean basin, this species is now found throughout the world.

mutant isopods are always a joy to find in the wild and this orange Armadillidium vulgare was no exception. although this was the first one i've managed to photograph, i've seen orange individuals in that area before, which means my odds of finding more are pretty good

fortunately when it comes to being handled this guy was a lot more agreeable than his porcellionid cousins, who would've launched themselves off my finger like rockets if i dared to touch them

Spiny Isopods (𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑚𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑐), family Armadillidiidae, found in Spain
