I have a roly-poly in my hands right now. He is adorable. :)

[Nothing-leru]

I have a zoo of these guys and it’s great!

[ExhoRain]

Random Fun fact: the roly-poly's scientific name is armadillidium vulgare and they're not really insects but terrestrial crustaceans making them more closely related to crabs, shrimp and crayfish!

One time I took one as my pet and I was never allowed to get pets so that was basically my first pet

One of the saddest memories I had is when I was 4 and me and my dad were watching rolly pollies and we were having a good time but then for no reason at all I got scared and killed it for no reason. I know it doesn’t sound sad but I regret doing it😢

I have an aloe vera plant which is a dedicated kingdom/country for them it's their flower pot lol

[_blackadder]

I have quite a few cultures of isopods…right now I have a starter culture of p. Hoffmansegi I’m super excited about! I love these guys so much <3

[Dokkanon]

Why have I not seen one in years? I used to see like 3 every day when I was younger

So hey, is it common for them to take over an anthill? There's an anthill near my home, but now the ants are gone for some reason and pill bugs took over

[Qwerty-uc]

ONLY MY BOY THE SOW BUG MIGHT NOT ROLL BUT I STILL LOVE HIM😢

Sow bugs are just roly polys that cant roll

[haroldestoce]

so your telling me that roly poly bites metal, imagine their bite pressure

[Astro-Navalite]

But how can you tell if they’re female or male?

[noonethebest]

i got a question do pill bugs die? because my little brother was asking me that

[jellyfishfingernail]

[DJ_Intrusion]

Mate it's a Woodlouse... They're extremly common over here in the UK and practically every household has them.

[Durple_the_big_purple_murple]

Step on a crack, and break an ant’s back

I had a dream where I met Roly poly on alien planet under ground in a cave I dig for myself, I befriended him and he communicated to me that he can help me find metal becaus they eat it and can scan environment with their appendages.I SWEAR I HAD NO IDEA BACK THEN THST THEY ACTUALLY EAT METAL. H o w
