*rolly polies. Much cuter.

As a kid I often picked those to throw them into gaucho spider webs, in exposed brick holes. Weird child me found hilarious to see the spider trying to crack the woody pig, failing hard, and then the woody pig eventually untangling itself and leaving.

No woody pig was harmed by this. Unlike by my “terrarium”; I gathered hundreds of them into a bucket, a bunch of dead leaves, and left them to their own devices. Most of them died.

They also breathe through gills and need moisture to survive since they are crustaceans, which means they probably make a good chowder
