For the past three years, I've been immersed in the scientific literature involving isopod ecology and taxonomy. I can identify 200+ terrestrial species and 108 aquatic species. Feel free to @ me if you need help with an Isopod ID. If you would like to send me any specimens that would be more than okay, many Asellidae species can only be IDed under a compound microscope and have a possibility to be undescribed especially Lirceus, just send me a message!

Feel free to use any pictures I have taken; however, it would be appreciated if you messaged me a link to where they are being used.
