Thai Red Springtails (Lobella sp.)

Thai Red Springtails are a striking microfauna species native to Thailand, known for their vibrant red coloration and essential role in bioactive ecosystems. As efficient decomposers, they help break down organic matter, regulate mold, and maintain a clean, self-sustaining environment. Their rapid reproduction and adaptability make them an excellent addition to terrariums, vivariums, and isopod cultures.

Unsure

Im assuming they are great little springtails. Unfortunately USPS delayed my package a couple days so they were all dead when i received them along with half my Spikeys. To no fault of the seller as they were well packaged!

Very healthy!

Yes the Thai red arrived in good condition, but honestly for 65 dollars I've only got 4 adults. (VISIBLE I will add) So i wouldn't consider this a culture starter per se.. more like 5-10 count adults.

Now.. that being said if my 'culture' takes off within the next 3 months then I'll definitely change my review and rating. Other than that shipping was great and order process was easy.
