What do arthropods do?

Answer 1

Arthropods are not just insects--they are very interesting animals, smaller then a beetle & a lighter color.

I have had experience with arthropods, a.k.a. rolly pollys, so I know a lot about them. Arthropods move much faster then beetles, smaller, lightening in color, and much younger. They are still in their developing stage to become strong darkling beetles!

There are 2 ways to hold an arthropod:

1. Beginner way:

If you are just a beginner hold the little critters, gently pick up your arthropod and scoop it up on a spoon (make sure it is NOT upside down! arthoropods could die if they are upside down too long because they can't get themselves up) After scooping it up in your spoon, gently put it on your PALM and curl your hands LIGHTLY to let it feel safe. Let it crawl around and when you are done with it, gently put it back in the container using the spoon.

2. Experienced way:

If you are an experienced expert with arthropods, it will be easy for you! Pick up your arthropod. You don't need it with a spoon if you know a lot abuot their life cycle. Gently put it on your hand and let it crawl around, making sure it's safe. Experienced experts with arthropods can also let them crawl on their arm, and even a pencil!

make sure if you are a beginner arthropod holder, that you make sure you're not scared of the insects. Being scared can cause serious injuries or even death to the arthropod, so be careful! Ask an expert to help you if you need help. You'll soon get used to it. =)
