Roly-Poly Bugs: Appreciated But Misunderstood
4/11/2019
Quote:
They're not bugs at all
That's right, pillbugs aren't insects. They are actually crustaceans, which means they are more closely related to shrimp, crabs and crayfish than they are to the ants and other insects that inhabit the same soil. Roly-polies are terrestrial crustaceans and the only crustaceans that have adapted to living entirely on land, according to the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
