Isolated and refined by Bill Yannone.

This beautiful line of common roly-polies has beautiful neon-yellow young that mature into pale yellow to peach adults with a dark patch on their pleon. The genetics seem different from the “Albino” line produced in Europe, but further test crossing is required to determine this. Bill Yannone’s work with his local roly-polies truly shows that eye-catching strains can be created from stock collected anywhere.
