P. floria?
Garthwaite and Sassaman's 1985 paper found that all specimens from AZ previously reported as P. pruinosus were actually P. floria, with the notable exception of a single site within the Chiricahua Mts. (Extreme southeast AZ).

Porcellionides
Hi!

This is a Porcellionides sp. from Porcellionidae family. Possibly the cosmopolitan P. pruinosus, but from here it's hard to tell for sure.

Visible id. marks for Porcellionides pruinosus:
- 0,5 - 1 cm long (without antennae)
- 2 segmented flaggellae
- abdomen slender, visibly divides from thorax
- color ranges from blue - violet to light orange
- no patches or stripes,only subtle waxy grains that makes a "soft" look of surface
- often in warm places,under rocks exposed to sun or inside compost heaps.
