Ideal for Vermi-Composting Red Wigglers, or Eisenia foetida, originate from Europe and are adapted to living in rotting vegetation and compost. They are rarely found in regular soil, hence they are the species of earthworms that are best suited for composting food waste. Under ideal conditions, they consume half their weight in organic matter daily while doubling their population every few months.
These high-quality worms are perfect for attracting a variety of fish, including bass, trout, and panfish. Known for their wriggling action, Red Wigglers are a must-have in every angler's tackle box. These worms are each 2 - 3 inches in length.
This is a widespread European species of woodlouse. Many pet keepers or hobbyists, from tarantula keepers, to roach and stick-insect keepers stock their cages with isopods which conveniently feed on insect feces, leftover bits of feeder or prey insects, and other eatables they find in the substrate like dead earth worms. In this way they are often referred to as janitors.
