Isopod and beetle trying to stay warm together
When it gets colder, you see bugs just hanging out with anyone. These two were sitting right up against each other when I moved the rock. Interesting choice since there
were other nasatums under there sitting in a different spot.
Hopes and dreams
I have armadillidum nasatum now I just need them to give me a peach baby Cubaris sp. 'soil'

Keeping updates
Not a whole lot going on. I need to get some more leaves for the nasatum and take out some of the sphagnum moss. Here's a pic of one of my pruinosus :))
Photos
All the species I keep or have seen irl. All pics here are my own!! To be added: Hyloniscus riparius, Chaetophiloscia sicula, Haplophthalmus danicus
My photo of the namesake nose on a. Nasatum. Not all isopods have this!
First species: T. Tomentosa as a cleanup crew for my corked vivarium
Favorite species: Tie between Porcellio hoffmannseggii and Ligia pallasii
Least favorite species: Whatever flat aquatic one (genus lirceus) that lives by my house bc I can't identify them or get good pics without hurting them
Easiest species: The dairy cows w/o question. First to breed and big eaters
