Laureola spec. ‘Black Panda’

The Laureola spec. ‘Black Panda’ belongs to the spiky isopod family and is characterised by its spiky outgrowths on its back. This isopod species originates from the humid and diverse ecosystem of Vietnam and immediately attracts everyone’s attention with its unusual appearance.

These isopods are not only fascinating to look at, but also play an important role in their habitat. They are efficient decomposers of organic material and thus contribute to the health and stability of the soil. In a terrarium, they support natural cleaning and ensure a balanced microbial climate.

The spiky protrusions of the Laureola spec. ‘Black Panda’ are not only a visual feature, but may also serve as a defence mechanism against natural predators. These unique physical characteristics make it an unusual inhabitant in any terrarium, attracting curious glances and becoming a talking point.
