I’m located in Philadelphia, though will be moving to Lansdowne in the next few months. Porcellio spinicornis has been on my wishlist for ages now, but I’ve refrained from buying them up to the fact that there have been a few observations of them in the general area, at least according to iNaturalist.

I havent found any yet, but I’m hoping that the warmer weather will bring them out. Has anyone in the general area found them outside? If you find them consistently, where do you find them most often?

These guys are so pretty, but man are they hard to find :(

Found this guy along with another in the backyard of my mom's new house. There are Common Striped, Common Pill, and Nosy isopods in the yard, and this one just looks different from all of them. It's also got some bright orange uropods which is really cool

We haven't even fully moved in yet. My mom just wanted us to go over so we could drop off some totes of stuff from the apartment, and I decided to check out the backyard while she went to the basement.

3 DeKay's Brownsnakes! The first two pics are the same snake, the biggest of the three. The unpictured one was a lot smaller than both, and seemed ill. It was rolling around like a hot dog on a heater, and when I picked it up, it was stargazing.

Hoping this is a good one. This is my first time at a house with a decent, non-lawn backyard
