  • Since becoming aquainted with these cute little creatures, I have to say they are such fun to watch, the way they interact with each other! Some are shy, some are bullies that chase the others, some are quite gentle, especially with the tiny babies amongst them. I have seen them have tug of war with the food, walk over the top of others to get at the food and just sleep side by side with each other. This is at different times of the day of course. There are so many different types of isopods, such beautiful patterns. They are so beneficial for the environment. Please don't kill them, they are so valuable, they are no threat to humans or anything else. 👍🌞

I had Porcellionides Pruinosus powder blue and orange, but they bred too quickly and were quite agressive with each other, so I let them go near a little wetland near me, I hope they are OK. Thank you for your channel. It is so informative. Look forward to seeing more. 😊

  • They are really cute and much more interesting than I thought initially. I built a small Wood Terrarium with a population of Roly Polies, and found out: Like most animals I got to know better also these guys have totally different personalities. While several ones just eat leaves all day peacefully side by side, there is a special bully one who always chases and pushes any other one who comes near it. By now their favourite food seams to be cucumber and sweet potatoe. Putting one slice in the terrarium you soom can watch a whole family dinner.

I was going through an experimental phase and realized that instead of stepping on an smaller insect I can just simply step around. That laughter or feeling you get for burning ants with a magnifying glass you don’t want that inside you. So I basically save every insect that I see at work. And lizards and stuff too, I give everybody five minutes the lizards are really skeptical about the net and like to jump back in

  • I live in Scotland in the far Northeast of the country, we don't have a hot climate in summer if we get up to 19C we are happy! My mumcalled them Slaters presumably because they're found under slate tiles? I detest them. I can't abide worm's I have a phobia about them and I just detest earwigs, mum called them forkietails. Not everything turns my stomach, my career has been as a registeresd nurse in the operating theatre, firstly as a scrub nurse then latterly through a University course I became an anaesthetic nurse. I've even been to a post mortem/ autopsy. Which would make most feel a little squeamish !

  • Grew up around Puget Sound and we had tons of these being such a rainy climate. We called them sow bugs or pill bugs. Nice to know they can be eaten just in case I am in a survival situation in a moist climate.

  • ♥️WELLY BUGS❣️ Idk why😆. I guess my Nana called them that when I was very little. I always thot it had been my mom, but the subject came up & she (n her 70s) said "No". My childhood friends always said "Rollie-poly" or "Doodle Bug". I've also heard them called "Pill bugs", "Potato bugs", "Sow bugs", etc, by some adults. I have YET to hear any1 else say "WELLY BUG", but I love them & now think of my Nana when I see 1❣️😍

  • It's weird. I live in San Antonio Texas and have my entire life and I swear I used to see these things everywhere as a kid. I saw them come into my house from outside, I saw them on the floors at school Alek times, I've seen whole piles of them but I don't think I've seen a single one since I was little. It's like they stopped existing. Is this the same from any of you?

  • If rolly pollies are crustaceans and not insects, that means that their life is like a horror movie When you are a crustacean that comes out of water millions of years ago and lives on land you end up living with insects Being so tiny this means that rollie pollies have to live with a bunch of huge creepy-crawlies and giant spiders There is even a woodlouse spider that eats rolly pollies It's no fun living in a world where even the tiniest ants are more like the size of rats and aunts also love eating rolly pollies when they are tipped over and can't get up It's not easy being a Rollie Pollie Even a hot sunny day when we would be relaxing on our porches is like Death Valley to them So don't step on boys they're not books and I already have enough problems living with giant bugs, at least from their POV

  • i'm holding one in my hand right now, it tickled. they kinda freeze when i'm near probably so i think they are dead, but i know they aren't. make sure to leave them alone sometimes. or they just won't move cause they are terrified- of big things. that just randomly pick them up? yeah.
