Armadillidium nasatum, (also called the Nosy Roly Poly & Nosy Woodlouse) was originally found in the wild in parts of southern England and Ireland.
Incredibly hardy and active, but also a little shy, A. nasatum is both fun & super easy to keep.. and their fondness for detritus, leftovers and waste makes them a great clean-up crew species.
These isopods do enjoy a fair bit of protein in their diet and caution should be taken if using them as a cleaner in enclosures with molting invertebrates.
