Porcellio expansus, also called the Giant Spanish Isopod, is a species of woodlouse in the genus Porcellio. Woodlice are terrestrial crustaceans, and this species is detritivorous, feeding on decaying organic matter. It can be found in northeast Spain. Individuals live for about three to five years, and they grow to a length of roughly 2.6 to 3.8 centimetres, or about one to one and a half inches. Lifespan and adult length are the two measurements reported for it, and no wider range beyond northeast Spain is stated.
