Criatura blanca con cabeza grande con ojos negros y grandes mandíbulas. Su cola es similar a la de los camarones, pero puede caminar con sus patas.

En los isópodos marinos del género Gnathia, como este Gnathia maxillaris, los machos adultos tienen unas potentes mandíbulas, recordando junto con su céfalon a unas hormigas soldado. Antes de ser adultos, alternan varias veces entre etapas parasitarias zuphea […]

Screenshot of the title and authors of the new review and data call paper on Oniscidae (terrestrial isopods, woodlice) and the new network called 'OniscidBase'.

Overview of 16 photos of terrestrial isopods (woodlice, Oniscidea) taken from the review on the new network 'OniscidBase'.

Very happy to be part of and to see this review on #Oniscidea (woodlice, terrestrial #Isopoda) published in @soilorganismsj.bsky.social .

Many thanks to Konstantin Gongalsky & Pallieter De Smedt for leading this! 🎊

Porcellio spinicornis. Long Melford, Suffolk

Common Shiny Woodlouse (Oniscus asellus). Long Melford, Suffolk.

Common Rough Woodlouse (Porcellio scaber). Long Melford, Suffolk.

Common Pill Woodlouse (Armadillidium vulgare). Long Melford, Suffolk.

Having recently purchased the @fieldstudiesc.bsky.social AIDGAP key to woodlice, I managed to find and identify six species today. As well as the four in the photos (see ALT text), there were Common Striped Woodlouse (Philoscia muscorum) and Porcellionides pruinosus. #isopoda

Una criatura similar a una cochinilla o bicho bola, pero de mayor tamaño.

El isópodo gigante (Bathynomus giganteus) es el más grande que se conoce, llegando a los 50 centímetros de longitud. Los registros de 76 cm son dudosos. 🏛️Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Francia #crustacea #isopoda

A three cropped shot panel showing a Cubaris sp. Rubber Ducky individual that has the traditional rubber ducky morphology. In the first panel the isopod is looking off to its right eating some freeze dried green peas. In the second the isopod is turned towards the camera. In the third and final one the isopod is turned back to its right. The background is a dark space of leaf litter that is out of focus.

Fed them this morning & took a few quick shots of a Cubaris sp. Rubber Ducky individual eating some peas.

Met this gorgeous Common Sea Slater (Ligia oceanica) on our recent trip to Pembroke! They're such fabulous creatures!! #CommonSeaSlater #Isopoda

Eine zusammengerollte Kugelassel (Armadillidium pulchellum) auf einem Baumstumpf. Das Tier zeigt die charakteristische dunkle Grundfärbung mit gelb-grünlichen marmorartigen Mustern und orange-rötlichen Segmenträndern. Die glänzende, gewölbte Panzerung ist deutlich sichtbar.

Eine Aufsicht einer Kugelassel (Armadillidium pulchellum) mit ausgebreiteten Antennen auf verwittertem Holz. Die segmentierte Körperstruktur ist klar erkennbar, ebenso die auffällige Farbgebung mit dunklen Grundtönen und hellen gelb-grünen Flecken sowie orange-rötlichen Segmentgrenzen.

Frontale Ansicht einer Kugelassel (Armadillidium pulchellum) auf Holzoberfläche. Die beiden langen Antennen sind deutlich sichtbar, sowie die charakteristische Kopfform und das intensive Farbmuster aus dunklen, hellen und orange-rötlichen Bereichen der gepanzerten Körperoberfläche.

Die Schöne Kugelassel (Armadillidium pulchellum) kann man bei einem Blick unter einen Stein oder ein Stück Holz finden. Mit A. pictum gibt es allerdings eine sehr ähnliche Art.

Extreme close-up of a terrestrial isopod, likely from the family Porcellionidae, nestled under a piece of decaying wood. The image reveals intricate texture and fine detail on the armored plates and legs, showing thousands of tiny bumps on the dark, shiny exoskeleton.

Terrestrial isopods breathe through modified gills called Pleopodal lungs, which means they need moisture to survive, even though they live on land. The link between terrestrial arthropods and the ocean is thinner than we would like to think sometimes.

Isópodo con pinzas, cuerpo largo y largas antenas.

Los isópodos parecen todos iguales, quitando alguno con pinchos. Craso error. El Phreatoicopsis raffae es alargado y tiene pinzas. 📷Gen C (Trigonotarbida) #isopoda

Isópodo azulado, con cierta iridiscencia.

Algunos betairidovirus se acumulan en los tejidos de los invertebrados y los vuelven iridiscentes.📷James Bailey #virus #isopoda
