Etsy shop update this saturday at 2 PM MST. These are the only three little friends that will be there. They were made before I got my embroidery machine so they have a silly little place in my heart.
creature question: do any of the bugs feel nice to hold
since i was a kid i always liked the feeling of lil potatobug feets crawling
I do love the big spirobolid millipede 200-leg tickle, but it often comes with a side of benzoquinone (stinky) and skin nibbling (Narceus want my flesh)
Get it? Margaret likes it heavy because she’s a pill bug and they remove heavy metals from the soil by consuming them! I’ve never been more proud of myself.
Out of curiosity, what did you call these little guys when you were growing up? This is one of my favorite isopod questions because I always get new answers every time I ask
What's your favorite common name for isopods/woodlice? I grew up calling them roly pollys, but I've also heard potatobugs and pillowbugs which is my current favorite! I assume it comes from mispronouncing pillbug but it's very cute and I kinda hope it catches on
I called Armadillidium spp “pillbug” and all other non-rollers “sowbug.” there’s a lot of silly common names but I have been science-brained into referring to all as “isopods.”
really, “woodlice” would be more applicable but it’s not like there are that many other terrestrial isopods that aren’t oniscideans
