Cubaris Bolivari
''Cubaris'' is a genus of woodlouse, woodlice in the family Armadillidae. There are more than 100 described species in ''Cubaris''. Cubaris species have in average lower reproduction rates and higher lifespans than other genera of isopod. As pets Over the years, the Cubaris genus has become increasingly popular in the invertebrate hobby. Their colorful patterns and active nature make them for many keepers a very attractive genus to keep as a pet. However, due to their slow breeding and relatively small litter size, highly sought after types can get very expensive; one example, Cubaris sp. "Rubber Ducky", is highly desired by enthusiasts due to its similarity in appearance to a rubber duck. Discovered in 2017 in Thailand, the Rubber Ducky variety breeds slowly and produces only small litter sizes, resulting in high prices.

Woodlouse
A woodlouse (plural woodlice) is an isopod crustacean from the polyphyleticThe current consensus is that Oniscidea is actually triphyletic suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda. They get their name from often being found in old wood. The first woodlice were marine isopods which are presumed to have colonised land in the Carboniferous, though the oldest known fossils are from the Cretaceous period. They have many common names and although often referred to as terrestrial isopods, some species live semiterrestrially or have recolonised aquatic environments. Woodlice in the families Armadillidae, Armadillidiidae, Eubelidae, Tylidae and some other genera can roll up into a roughly spherical shape ( conglobate) as a defensive mechanism; others have partial rolling ability, but most cannot conglobate at all. Woodlice have a basic morphology of a segmented, dorso-ventrally flattened body with seven pairs of jointed legs, specialised appendages for respiration and like ...
