My Isopods

[Biollantefan54]

I did a photoshoot last night with most of my isopods and thought I’d share them all in one thread. I have recently gotten more interested in them, with all the colors and types available, and have gotten a small collection going now. I’ll start with my favorite,

Cubaris sp. cappuccino

Next are my clown isopods

Powdered oranges

And then a shot of a juvenile zebra

Rathkes isopod

Cubaris sp papaya (one in the colony is white!)

A dairy cow, these guys move so fast!!

Bad photo of a juvenile dwarf white

Yellow spotted isopod

And lastly a curly woodlouse


I will hopefully be getting more pods soon!

Thank you! I use a Nikon d7500 and a sigma 105mm macro with a raynox 250. I use a godox flash, I don’t remember which off the top of my head but I use a Cygnustech diffuser which makes the lighting look great

Oooh, the lighting makes a big difference

Must be a seriously great camera excellent photos! It’s so hard take photos of small bugs with this old outdated iPhone. And I keep running out of space for pictures so I had to delete stuff..(usually irrelevant stuff)

Got a few new additions!
Cubaris sp red edge

Cubaris sp rubber ducky

Troglodillo sp soil

And then one of the A. gestroi looks really unique compared to the others so I am going to try to isolate this morph!

That gestroi might be in premoult, not necessarily a permanent coloration.

It just molted, but it still has that super bright yellow and looks very unique compared to the others. I’ll try to take updated photos

Ah, thought you were referring to the blue/white portions.
