The trilobite from Romania - Trachelipus trilobatus

[ItalianTermiteMan]

Isopod hours! Here's another species i'm keeping: Trachelipus trilobatus. This remarkable Trachelipus is endemic of the eastern European country of Romania, where it lives in the first section of caves and forested gorges; its most eye-catching feature is without a doubt the wide, expanded skirt (similar to Porcellio spatulatus') which gives it a quite "prehistoric" appearance. Another plus it's its very redspectable size, which in adults can reach almost a full inch of wide body.
