Roly-Poly Pill Bugsby Cynthia Sherwood
Some people are afraid of bugs such as spiders or beetles. But there is one bug that
just about everybody likes—pill bugs. If you ever pick one up, you know why its
nickname is “rolypoly.! " pill bug rolls up into a tight little ball to protect itself. #his bug is
scared of you, not the other way around$
#hese little gray or brown bugs can be found almost everywhere in the %nited States
e&cept the desert. #hat is because they need to stay moist. But they can live in dry
places like 'alifornia thanks to lawn sprinklers. (ne of their favorite hangouts is under
damp flower pots.
)id you know that pill bugs have something in common with kangaroos* "fter her eggs
hatch, the mother pill bug carries her young in a pouch under her belly. #he little pill
bugs stay there until
they are big enough to be on their own.
+ill bugs also have something in common with snakes. ust as snakes shed their skin
when it gets too small, pill bugs do too. #his is called “molting.! " pill bug molts about
five times until it is fullgrown.
+ill bugs are a little like owls, too. +ill bugs are nocturnal, meaning they are most active
at night. #hat is when they most like to wander around and look for food. "nd just like
earthworms, pill bugs help break down plants in the soil.
