Armadillidium maculatum (Yellow/White Zebra)

The 'Zebra Isopod' (Armadillidium maculatum) is a classic hobbyist favorite, prized for its bold stripes that mimic the toxic pill millipede, Glomeris marginata. While the standard morph is black and white, the 'Yellow Zebra' is a vibrant mutation that replaces white stripes with bold yellow, creating a "hornet-like" appearance.

The definitive "starter" pill bug for display enclosures. These are active during the day and will frequently explore the surface once their numbers grow.
