Armadillidium Maculatum Zebra Isopod

The Zebra Isopod (Armadillidium maculatum) is a highly popular, medium-sized terrestrial woodlouse prized for its striking black-and-white striped patterning. Native to Southern France, Italy, and the Mediterranean region, they reach up to 18mm in size. Their signature stripes are believed to be an evolutionary trait called Batesian mimicry, designed to resemble a distasteful pill millipede to ward off predators.
