Dwarf White Isopods Trichorhina tomentosa

Tiny little helpers doing a BIG job!

Meet one of nature’s tiniest cleanup crews! Dwarf White Isopods might be small, but these hardworking little creatures are a wonderful addition to tropical bioactive enclosures.

These adorable, pearly white isopods spend most of their time tucked beneath the soil, breaking down decaying leaves, organic matter, and waste to help support a healthier little ecosystem.

Why we love them:

• 🤍 Excellent cleanup crew for tropical bioactive enclosures
• 🌱 Help break down organic waste and decomposing plant matter
• 🪴 Great for planted terrariums and humid vivariums
• 🤍 Tiny size makes them perfect for smaller setups
• 🌿 Reproduce without needing males, making colonies easy to establish
• 🕷️ Can be a helpful addition to suitable bioactive jumping spider enclosures

Care Requirements

• Scientific name: Trichorhina tomentosa
• Care level: Beginner friendly
• Size: Approximately 2–4 mm
• Temperature: Around 70–80°F
• Humidity: High, with consistently moist substrate

Counts may include a mixture of juveniles and adults. Because these little guys love hiding in their substrate, you might not spot everyone right away!

A little note from Willow’s Jumpers: Dwarf Whites do best in established, moisture-retaining bioactive setups. They are not recommended for dry enclosures, and their suitability depends on the animals sharing the habitat.

Small creatures, big contributions to your miniature ecosystem! 🤍
