  1. For #WoodlouseWednesday, an isopod molting!

    All arthropods (which includes crustaceans like isopods, plus insects, spiders, and more) molt to grow bigger. Isopods molt in two stages, one end at a time. More details here from the invaluable crevicedwelling: crevicedwelling.tumblr.com/pos

  2. I think this might be a common pillbug (Armadillidium vulgare), a species introduced from Europe and found just about everywhere now. Some of the varieties sold as pets are incredibly beautiful. #pets #woodlouse #pillbug #isopoda #crustacea #nature #arthropod #WoodlouseWednesday
