“The Cuban Spiky, Pseudarmadillo spinosus”
The Cuban Spiky, Pseudarmadillo spinosus, is one of the isopods most prized by hobbyists. Credit to Nicky Bay.

Today, without looking for it, totally randomly like many things on The Tubes happen to be, I came across the strange world of isopods collectors . I would have never imagined, not even in my wildest dreams, that some people would find collecting “earth crustaceans” interesting, or desireable. Yet, here we are.

Forgot to add that not only collecting isopods is a thing, but that it is a very expensive hobby. Yup, that Cuban Spiky goes for $450 USD. For one tiny isopod!
