I got these FREE from a very nice person on Ebay. The biggest is about the size of my thumb, 1 1/4 inch. If you have a phobia of bugs, I suggest you close the tab now.

Nice! Are you keeping them as pets? Or… plant food?

¿Porque no los dos?

I keep springtails for much the same reasons. Isopods would also do a good job cleaning up the pots, but I'd be afraid of them eating the actual plants...

I mean… isopods roll up into perfect little protein pills for pitchers.

I sort of do this with millipedes, though I don’t know what I’m doing with them or why they aren’t all dead yet.

Pets, these are kinda expensive! These ones are the porcellio species, they don't roll up.
