I just moved to a new city in another part of the country and I have a small garden, and it's just full of so many, many isopods. They look a lot like Porcellio scaber of various morphs, lots of lava, some other individuals are golden/yellow, and there's a stray that may be a different species that I scooped up along the rest - I took a few spoonfuls to put in a spare bin I had; there is still plenty in the garden, I can't stress enough how many colonies of them there is around and I only searched through 1/4 of the garden surface. They live huddled up together in bunches of +25 individuals of all ages every 20cm along the property.
I'll probably need a larger bin and some if I want to play around with breeding projects (although I believe Porcellio Scaber are often naturally polymorphic so I may not be able to isolate anything? In particular I've read the males tend to more often be grey and the females more often be in the beige range).
