Found this ispod in my backyard I live in arizona, never seen this kind before. I only find the powder blue, does anyone know what kind he is???

A quick Google search says that the only species native to the American Southwest is Venezillo arizonicus.

Attached picture is from iNaturalist which was taken near Sanibel, Florida. It's a little hard to tell from your pictures; do you think it's the same animal?

I’m not sure what species it is but by using INaturalist I found over 7 different isopod species in Arizona, with there surely being more.

I gotta eat crow, you are more than right. That's what I get for just looking at the first page of Google. It does look like something from the genus Venezillo -- but it could easily be something from Porcellio or Armidillium.
