A morph of the Armadillidium vulgare and cousin to the common pill bug. The Japanese line displays a semi-translucent white shell with large, bright yellow splotches and smaller black spots. 

The Japanese line can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. They prefer semi-arid environments and can not tolerate excessive moisture—a moderate moisture gradient with recommendations online ranging from 1/4 to 1/3 wet-to-dry ratio.

Not sexually dimorphic. 

AKA "Pill Bug," thus rolls into a ball to retain moisture when its habitat is too dry, as well as for a defensive posture.

 

Captive bred. Colonies include various sizes/ages.
