Isopods (order isopoda) are seven segmented crustaceans found in almost every conceivable environment, from the deep sea, coasts, rivers, ponds, deserts, tree-tops, forest floors as well as gardens and bathrooms across the world! They may just be natures greatest creation.

My a. vulgare bois love the snail shells I have in their enclosure! They push them all around and apparently like eating them! One has a lil hole nibbled in it already.

I feel like my job is sapping my creativity and motivation. I set myself the challenge to do a daily 15-20 minute drawing of my invertebrate pets. These are the two best isopods so far. Next week it is the triops' turn.

Just a few of my Oniscus asellus which I collected from a nearby park. I believe they were chomping on an cucumber piece. Sorry for mediocre phone camera. 😬

I also have some Orange Koi, but they're not established/flourishing yet.
