A male and a female will stand off and stare at each other. They will then back away and go towards each other again. When they get close to each other they will rub antennas for about half an hour, at which point the male will walk away from the female silverfish. If the female silverfish follows the male will fertilize the female. The female will then lay a cluster of around fifty eggs inside cracks and other small areas.

Pill bugs respond to stimuli through a process called taxis, where they move towards or away from a certain stimulus.

If you add water to the balloon eventually it will fill the whole box and start trying to pop the box open. That is like an insect. Their bodies grow but the exoskeleton is too hard to stretch or grow. Therefore, they shed their exoskeleton and grow a new one that fits them.
