Isopod ID

I live in Toronto Ontario and I found this little thing it looked different from all the other isopods I see outside

Interesting find!

Looks like some sort of pill bug because of it's round body shape. My first thought was a Armadillidium nasatum peach, but I'm not sure if they're in Canada, so I'm not sure.

looks like a wild type peach A nasatum. they are indeed in canada
theyre great little buddies, what a special find. you should totally set them up in a culture. just be sure to keep the species to themselves. theyre really chill and relaxed and other sp can definitely take bits off them.

I have never seen one of these guys ever before so I hope I can find more one day

Ah, thought so, although I didn't know they were in Canada! I've never seen one in the wild before!
