The listing is for 1x animal, of a beginner-friendly species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is popularly kept due to its translucent, white body that is adorned with patches of contrasting, black markings.
This is a pedigree called "Shiro Utsuri", named after a koi pedigree of the same name. "Shiro Utsuri" is Japanese and it roughly translates to "white mirror-reflections" in English. This pedigree has been selectively bred for a mutation that makes their bodies white, whereas the original, wild-type colouration is a grey/brown colour.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from South Taiwan, Asia. When a group is purchased, the isopods sent will be an assorted mixture of ages and sizes, to ensure a good start to a breeding colony.
