The joy of field collecting comes crashing down

Boy I thought I had found something unique. I flipped over a log and there it was. A P. scaber almost glowing blue/purple in the sun! Then you google it.  They should call it the blue death.

Haha yeah, sucks that it ends up killing them, bright blue isopods would be amazing!

Has anyone experimented with infecting different species to see if one can survive with iridovirus?

Orin (user Allpet Roaches) states he has tried (in one of his books), but he wasn't very successful. I don't wish to plagiarize him all day, so you can ask him via PM.

Is collecting stuff from outside ok for isopods?
