They have two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of legs, and some even come in colours that rival a bouquet of flowers.
Their colours can range from dull, earthy tones of grey and brown, to brilliant shades of red and gold.Mr Eric Lim, who started the Isopods Singapore Telegram group in mid-2019, says membership of the group has grown by almost 20 per cent since Dec 2022. It currently has over 900 members. “That’s a good thing, there’s very little to hate about these critters, they help the health of the ecosystem and they don’t cause harm to furniture or anything else in the house, so what’s not to like,” he said.In the wild, isopods function as natural decomposers recycling decaying plant material and improving soil quality.
Both Mr Lim and Mr Ng liken the hobby to collecting Pokemon in real life, allowing enthusiasts to raise and care for a variety of colourful creatures while being able to breed and trade them with others.
