Milkback Isopod 10pk

Woodlice are an excellent addition to any bio-active tank, aiding in the process of cleaning waste. Woodlice are bio-active custodians which feed off the waste created by your reptile pet and its food.

They eat any type of organic material and in the right bio-active set-up, they will breed prolifically and provide an ongoing food source as well as serving as part of the clean-up gang to consume waste and recycle nutrients.

Porcellio laevis ‘Milkback’ is a species of isopod that is native to Europe, with a distinctive white colouration on its back attributed to the presence of specialised cells containing calcium carbonate. This colouration is due to the presence of specialised cells that contain calcium carbonate, which gives the woodlouse its unique appearance. Porcellio laevis ‘Milkback’ is commonly found in damp environments, including forests and gardens.

As detritivores, these woodlice feed on decaying plant matter, contributing to the breakdown of organic material in the ecosystem. Porcellio laevis ‘Milkback’ plays an important role in nutrient cycling within its ecosystem by aiding in the decomposition process and nutrient recycling. Woodlice like Porcellio laevis ‘Milkback’ are also known to be beneficial in controlling pests in gardens, such as by consuming pest insects and maintaining a natural balance in the garden ecosystem. Their presence can help maintain a healthy balance in the environment by aiding in decomposition and nutrient recycling.
