About us

Did you know that isopods (aka pill bugs, potato bugs, rollie pollies) are the hottest new pet!?

We’re excited to announce the next evolution of our DIY Isopod Terrarium Workshops!

Join NYC citizen scientists and invertebrate enthusiasts to share our love for isopods through a variety of activities and ways to connect: DIY bio-active terrarium workshops, isopod species show-and-tells, isopod and supply swapping, and creative activities oriented around arthropod/invertebrate zoology!

If you're already an isopod pro, you can bring your extra supplies and isopods to share/swap with other people!

... and, YES, we often have enough cute isopods for everyone who attends a meetup to take at least 2 home with them.

This program is brought to you by Earthlings.NYC, a 501c3 nonprofit initiative that provides opportunities for learners of all ages to interact with creatures they may not otherwise encounter living in New York City. Whether it’s a tiny little beetle grub or a hefty tortoise, there is always something living organisms can teach us about the world and about our selves!
