the calico phenotype in Porcellio scaber is only expressed in female isopods; males with the mutation appear solid gray for some reason. females have a mottled appearance of gray and orange patches, which can vary considerably in different individuals.
when combined with the large white patches from the dalmatian gene, the result is a lovely tricolor isopod!

the original “Dalmatian” line should not to my knowledge produce calicos, and these are from a cross of “Orange Dalmatian” to my local P. scaber among which calico is a very common trait

Everyone loves toe beans, right? Have you considered roach beans?
Madagascar hissing roaches have special pads on their feet that help them to grip and climb smooth surfaces like glass, unlike other roaches that cannot!
They're usually too tiny to notice, but this big guy has very photogenic beans
I would have preferred to upload this as a video but for whatever reason tumblr just wouldn't let it upload

Prosopocoilus astacoides.
“Cyclommatus is a genus of the Lucanidae family, also known as the stag beetle. The chief distinguishing characteristics of this genus are its impressive mandibles, which can sometimes be as long as its body, as well as its lustrous metallic exoskeleton, which can range from red, brown, green, purple, gold and a rarer blue-black. Male beetles of genus cyclommatus are generally larger than females of the same species, and exhibit brighter and lustrous exoskeletons compared to females.”
Photographer: Mofeed Abu Shalwa
