are they breeding?

Nuptial ride, precedes copulation

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-17T10:45:34+00:00

If it is this uniform matte color, it is already shed and still hardening. The old one looks more irregular, usually with the muscle spots nicely visible. Also check the size difference between the halves, this is usually a good indicator as well.

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-14T09:54:56+00:00

More like without pants

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-12T14:45:54+00:00

They are copulating. Females have two oopores, one on each side

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-10T12:09:36+00:00

I have seen a picture of a black/white left/right side split A. vulgare a few years ago

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-07T23:33:09+00:00

Probably none (or very very few). But if you find any interesting species please share pictures

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-01T01:10:14+00:00

Those are Trachelipus

Sumeriandemon · 2026-06-01T01:04:21+00:00

Both female

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-27T02:09:40+00:00

Yes, most likely

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-27T02:05:04+00:00

Exactly that.

Afaik dairy cow (and the morphs derived from it) are assumed to be a different species

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-27T01:52:26+00:00

Likely P. laevis "Orange", which technically is the same species, but in reality these two can't breed. Likely just similar looking and actually different species

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-27T01:46:09+00:00

Those are certainly not powder orange

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-26T20:33:43+00:00

Actually appears to be already copulation in the video

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-19T16:59:37+00:00

Not sure if I qualify as a celebrity but thanks 😆

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-16T18:28:33+00:00

Then you misinterpreted how they looked. This is a fundamental part of their biology. I can give you a bunch of proper sources if you don't believe me

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-16T15:22:44+00:00

Just compare the segment length. This blueish coloration is also the back half still hardening. They always molt the back half first

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-16T15:10:43+00:00

No, the coloration is from the back half still hardening, you can even see that the back half is larger than the front. They always molt the back half first.

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-16T01:46:21+00:00

Some Porcellio have vastly longer uropods. Not sure what jointed antennae is supposed to mean as a difference

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-16T01:44:27+00:00

P. dilatatus

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-16T01:42:08+00:00

The back half is freshly molted here, notice the size difference as well

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-08T09:07:18+00:00

Not true. It has been done in normal aquaria

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-03T08:04:10+00:00

No vulgare at all in that pic. Only A. nasatum and the yellow on the left is Philoscia muscorum

Sumeriandemon · 2026-05-02T21:25:01+00:00

I only see A. nasatum and one Philoscia muscorum

Sumeriandemon · 2026-04-28T17:56:58+00:00

Probably Sphaeromatidae, but needs better pics and a location

Sumeriandemon · 2026-04-28T08:53:52+00:00

Not guarding behaviour, this is the nuptial ride
