Trippy Isopod (Armadillidium vulgare)

Acrylics on 11" x 14" wood panel, November 2023.

Whether you call them an isopod, woodlouse, pill bug, potato bug, roly poly, or slater, these ubiquitous little arthropods are peaceful and underappreciated little creatures. As detritivores (eating decomposing plant matter), they are an essential part of the ecosystem. They make excellent pets and are easy to care for in captivity, provided their needs are met. They are highly gregarious and social, and the females have a strong maternal instinct and will actively protect their young. Their common name "pill-bug" refers to the fact that they can curl themselves up into a tight ball when threatened. Not all isopods have this ability.

These guys have a unique feature, nicknamed the "Hissing Isopod" when they curl up they make a noise that sounds like they're hissing.
