Other Inverts

A random collection of our other inverts that do not fit into one of our other categories
- we will be adding to this page throughout the year.


Asellus aquaticus
Europe
freshwater crustacean - adult size approx 1cm
Kept as aquatic clean up crew at around 20*C & ​feeding on algae wafers, fish flakes & shrimp sticks.


Curculio glandium - acorn weevil
UK
adult size 5 - 8mm


Gammarus pulex
Europe
12 - 20mm
​Small freshwater shrimp, fascinating to watch & easy to keep.
​We keep ours around 20*C with an air stone and feed them algae wafers, fish flakes, dried daphnia, lettuce & shrimp sticks.


Lepisma saccarinum - silverfish
​Europe
adult size approx 2cm
ideal feeders for other inverts, currently feeding on bran, cereals & toast crumbs


Otiorhynchus sulcatus - Black Vine Weevil
Europe
​adult size ​1cm

A fun & easy to rear invert that is an important feeder for many small creatures.
As this species is unable to fly it makes a perfect feeder for centipedes and newts which eat not only the larvae but also the adult beetles.

Springtails
We keep both white & orange springtails (colours kept separately)


Vitrina pellucida
UK
adult size 6mm
A small species of semi slug that is usually more active in the autumn & winter.  It usually feeds on liverworts, dead plant & animal matter and horse / rabbit poo.
