Amazing Nature
Egg
Hemilepistus is a genus of isopods in the family Agnaridae.
I am trying to get a group/male female for personal study of these amazing isopods-
I understand they are outside the states ;
but if anyone knows someone living in an area to source them or other types with similar behaviors please let me know.
so I am seeking any Hemilepistus sp.
but especially Hemilepistus reaumuri-since they seem to have been the most studied so I can care for them properly.
some are real interesting to look at like Hemilepistus schirasi which I found labeled as Hemilepistus Budde-Lund 1879 also
Also really like to know/figure out why some Hemilepistus types have those tubercules on them like the afore mentioned Hemilepistus schirasi
what function they serve;
I haven't found any explanation yet in literature if anyone knows please tell me?
also final destination to me would be united states ohio 45840 for figuring shipping cost etc
thanks again anybody/everybody
