learn about isopods together
connect with other isopod fans
take isopods and isopod knowledge home
tl;dr: learning about isopods, making cute isopod habitats, swapping isopods or supplies, and then everyone's taking some pet isopods home!
Isopods (sometimes known as a pill bug, potato bug, rollie pollie, or wood louse) are the perfect little desk pet: small spatial needs, easy to care for, very little maintenance, and super duper cute. They’re also fascinating arthropods who are amazing learning tools for invertebrate zoology!
Join Earthlings.NYC citizen scientists and local invertebrate zoology fans as we learn more about these fascinating creatures and then learn how to make cute little terrariums for them to live in. If you're already an isopod pro, you can bring your extra supplies and isopods to share/swap with other people!
...and, YES, we have enough cute isopods for everyone who attends to take at least 2 home with them.
If you have an isopod-related activity, presentation, and/or would like to table at the next Love Bug Lab (selling merch or isopods), please email us at lovebugs@earthlings.nyc!
NOTE: Please feel free to bring your own special jar / container, but make sure it's already washed and cleaned!
