I just came for that. Thanks faster friend !
No one told me life was gonna be this way
clap clap clap clap
I have so many frenz
What was the original?
Roly-poly/pillbug vs isopod?
I thought they were the same thing, but pill bugs always look bland while isopods have fancy breeds
I wasn't able to find an original, but I would assume it was either talking about the fact that they're crustations and not bugs, or talking about the different regional names for them (roly poly, pill bug, potato bug, etc)
Pill millipedes (looks like Glomeris marginata) vs isopods (some Armadillidium species as it can roll up into a ball). Incredible case of convergent evolution
holy cow, I was today years old when I found out they weren't the same family.
i thought both pictures, top/bottom, were an interesting factoid where they are crustaceans... you mean to tell me the top one is a millipede?! my life is a lie.
One of my very first wild friends in fact! Loved playing with them as a kid =)
One of the few bugs I do not find icky and will willingly touch.
I am aggressively pro isopod. Thanks for the content!
Just saw one of these friends today
