Armadillidium vulgare
-

Size: Maybe around 15 mm?
Best guess is Armadillidium vulgare
I don't know if the ventral shot shows gender?

Moved, A.vulgare indeed...
Don't know how to sex isopods, other than individuals that have orange bulging brood sacs on their undersides, which are gravid females.
Moved from
Isopods

Gender
Based on the info I was able to find since posting these images, looking at my ventral image I would call this one a male. What do you think?
