Armadillidium Nasatum

“Peach”

Nosy Roly Poly

Armadillidium Nasatum Peach Isopods, also known as Nosy Roly Poly,  are color morphs of normal Armadillidium Nasatum which originally came from Europe.

They look a great deal like Armadillidium Vulgare, but they are more sleek and smaller.  They also have a bump in the front of their anterior between their antennae.  They do roll up into a protective ball when disturbed, just like regular common roly poly’s.

Nosy Roly Poly Isopods are very easy to care for.  Please see our video and care info below.
