Partially leucistic.

Wild tessera morph

Juvenile, calling incessantly. Preyed on by a hawk shortly after this photo.

Leucistic woodlouse.

One brown isopod among many grey ones.

Erythristic!

Very weird light morph, I assume.

A bundle of concinnus. Im guessing their hibernacula got flooded. And one from adjacent cover.

D. fuscus hatchlings (a week or less since hatching) hanging out in the nursery excavation where I had been observing a female with eggs for several weeks.

94 individuals caught during monitoring

Prettiest isopod I've ever seen
