Porcellio nicklesi ‘Orange Blaze’ with its orange color and the black & white specks, is a really stunning spanish isopod. I would say it’s the orange version of the Porcellio nicklesi ‘Rubivan’ isopod. Males have longer uropods than females and at full adulthood are easily sexed. I don’t yet know if this isopod is found naturally in the wild, or it could possibly be a crossing of the wild Porcellio nicklesi X Porcellio nicklesi ‘Rubivan’.
