Useful Bugs

More than just a hobby, many invertebrates play a crucial role in ecology and we rely on them more than most think in our everyday lives. In the reptile hobby, isopods can make excellent feeders, while some roaches can make excellent clean-up crews.

  • From clean-up crew to pet, there’s a wide variety of these cool crustaceans to fit your vivarium or culturing needs.

  • Only about 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. They get a bad name for the few that are pests, but most are highly beneficial and ecologically extremely important. They’re a wonderful feeder and some are also excellent clean-up crews.
