Time for another isopod share, and this time we have one of my personal favorites: Porcellio expansus, specifically P. expansus "Orange Tortosa".
This is a species of beautifully shaped and patterned isopods endemic of northeastern Spain (specifically the province of Catalonia as far as i know) that can reach truly impressive sizes, especially in some localities it seems. It is one of the classic "Spanish giants", and personally i think one of the nicest species in the hobby.
