⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

Armadillidium insulare is a large and impressive pillbug species, notable for its size and robust body compared to many other Armadillidium. Originating from Mediterranean islands, they are well-adapted to warmer, drier climates than some of their relatives, making them a fascinating choice for isopod keepers who enjoy species with different environmental preferences.

This species thrives in enclosures with a clear moisture gradient, leaning toward drier conditions with good ventilation. They still require access to a humid retreat, along with plenty of leaf litter, bark, and decaying wood. Colonies establish steadily in captivity but benefit from slightly warmer temperatures to breed at their best.

With their larger size and unique husbandry needs, Armadillidium insulare makes an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced keepers who want to expand their collection with a striking Mediterranean species.
