Cylisticus convexus

Common names: Curly woodlouse

Origin: Cosmopolitan

Optimal temperature: 14-27 °C

Size: up to 2,0 cm

Additional info: Extremely active for isopod that can roll up, they often scatter away from danger. They almost never roll up, but when they do; they leave their antennae outside. Cylisticus convexus appear like some sort of mix between porcellio and armadillidae. They can be found all over the world, are easy to take care of, but breed rather slowly for a widespread species like that. This culture was collected in Central Slovenia.
