my pillbugs

Here are all the pillbugs I've caught on my white kitchen
floor in the past two days, also a couple in the bathroom.
Everywhere else is covered with pill bug colored carpet so
they're probably camouflaged all over this place that I
hate. They are actually sowbugs.

They were called "potato bugs" from when I was a child.

Nice catch, by the way.

You know, I actually laughed when I opened this thread...as

What will you do with them? The pill bugs that is.

I'm gonna throw them outside so I can use the cup to catch
some more.

An amusing fact: they are actually crustaceans. Think about
that the next time you're eating cantonese pill bug noodle
soup.

Well, that has singlehandedly killed any motivation for me
to post cool links for the rest of the week.

w M w, I hope you handled them using the tips of 2 small
paint brushes. You can injure them if you just pick them up
using your hands.

I imagine this doesn't apply to the ones in fleetmouse's
link, they look like you could pick them up with a claw
hammer and it wouldn't matter.

really? i didnt know that (makes sense though). I like
picking them up with my hands but i try to be careful, of
course.
Pillbugs are awesome.

ok. even though isopods are awesome, the giant ones too,
this is a bit much:

> NSFW < (i imagine)

tongue replacement

"The middle picture on the Isopod page shows a parasite that
enters the mouth of a fish, then eats the tongue and lives
in its place."

Yeah, I've picked them up with my hands before, but I
remember reading in a book that using the tips of
paintbrushes was much better for them.

BTW, for all the Brits who are thinking WTF are pillbugs,
they're talking about the things we know as, "Wood Lice".
