[AXLaircey]

I always loved these -bug- crustaceans!!

[dmhq-administration]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE wood lice. They're so cute. 🥰🤗💖🇨🇦

[bingdinggold]

Lol I thought the thumbnail was a literal pumpkin variety fromthe gardening channels I follow. He better be nicknamed a pumpkin type name!!! I had to double take

[siyg]

Was I the only one who noticed the thumbnail was of a pill millipede and not a roly poly? They are very distantly related, not even in the same order and are similar only in appearance

[themauwie]

In our family-owned private house, these were the most common things in the backyard. 😀 And I still love to watch these, they are fascinating. I'm from eastern Europe.

[WhoElseButZane]

It would be cool if you focused more on the "why" like, why does the mother take care of its young where other crustaceans don't, or why do they have such long lifespans?

[billyr]

Isopods have a million names in Britain.

[mebreevee]

I own some isopods that don’t curl up. Was that targeted to armadillidium?

[lalijara]

In my country, they are often called cave pigs, or cloports

[tinknal]

I just wish they would stay away from my wild maitake mushrooms. I'm sure I've eaten a good number of them....
