Clown Isopods (Armadillidium klugii)
Clown Isopods are a visually striking species native to the Balkan Peninsula, particularly in Montenegro and surrounding regions. Known for their bold black base with bright red or yellow spots, they resemble the patterns of a harlequin, making them a favorite among collectors.
