Product description:
The Porcellionides pruinosus “Blue Powder” are woodlice highly valued in bioactive terrariums for their efficiency and rapid establishment. They help break down organic waste (food scraps, dead leaves, small molds) and contribute to keeping the substrate cleaner and more stable.
An active and generally very prolific species, it is ideal for quickly establishing a functional microfauna in a bioactive terrarium, with a good leaf litter and a moisture gradient.

Quantity: 15
