Powder Blue Isopod

Les cloportes (Oniscidea) sont un sous-ordre de Crustacés isopodes, qui ont la particularité d'être exclusivement terrestres. On en connaît plus de 4 000 espèces, dont 218 en France. La plus répandue est le Cloporte commun (Armadillidium vulgare).

Porcellionides pruinosus is a cosmopolitan and detrivorous woodlouse that is native to Europe, and is suspected to consist of very closely related species. Ten subspecies are recognised. The species carries Wolbachia endosymbionts, which is an alpha-proteobacterium that is known to modify the reproduction of their crustacean hosts by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility or feminisation.
