Oniscus asellus ‘B.C. Maple’ is the amelanistic, orange color morph that appeared in British Columbia, in Canada. It’s the same large, flat Oniscus asellus isopods, that only lack melanin and they also have an orange color instead. Easy to care for isopods, they might need some time to acclimate in a newly established colony. This color morph is still uncommon in Europe.
