Dried silkworm pupae make an excellent high‑protein enrichment food for isopods, especially the more omnivorous and protein‑responsive species. They offer a clean, shelf‑stable way to boost dietary amino acids and healthy fats, supporting strong growth, smooth moulting, and robust reproduction. Species such as Porcellio, Armadillidium, Cubaris, and many larger tropical forms readily graze on finely crushed pupae, treating them as a nutrient‑dense supplement alongside their usual leaf litter and decaying wood. Because pupae break down slowly and don’t foul the substrate, they’re a practical way to add variety and condition colonies without introducing moisture or pests.
