Laureola sp. Durian Spiky

Laureola sp. “Durian Spiky”

is a small, highly textured isopod species named for its spiky dorsal projections and resemblance to the durian fruit’s exterior. Native to tropical forest environments, this species is appreciated for its unusual appearance and compact size.

These isopods are small, reclusive, and humidity-dependent, recommended for intermediate keepers familiar with tropical microhabitats and stable enclosure conditions.
