Woodlice (Roly-Poly and Pill bug)

Woodlice have flattened bodies to help them crawl through cracks and narrow spaces, such as those seen in rotting logs and underneath bark. They also have comparatively strong exoskeletons to protect them from predators.

you can tell how to tell the gender by its under side if it is pale it is a female if it is dark it is a male.

Go outside and get some rich, damp, dark topsoil, and cover the bottom of a small animal tank with it. Next, take a trowel and gather leaf litter from under a tree or bush and cover the soil with it. The soil should be about an inch deep and the leaf litter about three inches. Every day spray the environment a couple times to keep it damp. Keep it in a warm, dark place in the house. Add new leaf litter every few days so it has food. When you scoop up the leaf litter, keep any organisms living in it, as long as they are not bigger than the roly poly. Make sure the lid of the container has some little holes, probably a mesh or cloth lid, so that there is continual air flow, but it is still tiny enough that any small insects in the leaf litter can't get out. The best place to get the litter and soil is where you found the roly poly in the first place. Do not keep beetles or house flies or any other bugs bigger than roly polys in the environment, just roly polys. And that's how to take care of them!

Spiders, Toads, centipedes and millipedes

Suet pastry, also known as suetcrust pastry, is used for jam roly-poly; that is, half by weight suet as self-raising flour, mixed with sufficient water to create a soft dough. For example, 250g flour plus 125g suet plus around 120-160ml water, added gradually. Dough should not be sticky.

The dough is then rolled out into an oblong and brushed with warm jam to 1cm of the edges. The border is folded over towards the jam and brushed with milk, and then the pastry is rolled up from the short edge, sealed at the ends, and rolled into a sheet of greased foil. Seal the foil and put in a steamer over boiling water for 1-2 hours. Remove the foil and serve.

Traditionally, jam roly-poly would be wrapped in a floured cloth (muslin, or a tea cloth), tied with kitchen string and put directly into boiling water to cook for a couple of hours.

To oven bake, the roll is brushed with beaten egg and sprinkled with caster sugar and baked at 200C until golden brown, about 30-45 minutes.

Jam roly-poly is served with warm jam or hot custard.

They don't if they can help it! If a woodlouse is on its back and does not respond to your touch it's probably dead...

2 to 3 weeks

# Woodpeckers will wrap their tongue around their brain to prevent it from rattling while it pecks at wood. # The bill is made of strong bone with a hard, horny covering to prevent from cracking while the woodpecker is pecking.

yes they do because their intestines are not very efficient

roly polies or pill bugs can live up to three years

The eggs take 3 to 7 weeks to hatch and the babies stay in the pouch for another 6 to 7 weeks.

woodlice loose water rapidly and by living under stones it prevents the sun from affecting them therefore they are able to retain more water. But sometimes they live under rocks and logs because its damp and wet.

• Slugs, like amphibians, can dry up quickly in direct sunlight.
• Because they don't have a shell to protect them, they must hide from predators like birds.
• Slugs eat the mold and slime underneath the rocks logs and whatnot. They go where the food and shelter is.

well I know what it is but I cant remember what its called!

if u mean by playing with them i know they r not. but if u mean swallowing, im not so sure. but i really dont think that they r poisonous.

i even checked some websites about pill bugs and none of them said that they were pisonous!

well...

ADD:

They don't sting, bite, or secrete poison. I don't know about about eating them though.

they are used for sensory functions and feeling. They are used to sense the environment around them.

because they think nobody is going to be around to get them like us but its not dark and this morning we got them OK!

woodlice have antenas because

Woodlice eat dead and decaying plant matter so that is is converted back into nutrients that plants can use to grow

Generally speaking, anywhere pill bugs are normally found. Blue pill bugs are not a different species from ordinary brown ones. Rather, they are simply ordinary pill bugs that are infected with iridiovirus. So, in effect, a blue pill bug is a sick pill bug.
