A Big Woodlouse close-up. • Woodlice are known regionally by many different names. Some of these include: • Roly-Poly (or Rollie Pollie) • Billy Baker • Monkey pea • Grammer zow • Parson's pig • Chiggy wig • Cheese log • Daddy granfer • Granny grunter • Damper • Slate cutter • Hardy back • Penny sow • Cheesy bug • Nut bug • Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlouse : • A woodlouse (known by many common names: see below; plural woodlice) is a crustacean with a rigid, segmented, long exoskeleton and fourteen jointed limbs. Woodlice form the suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda, with over 5,000 known species. • Woodlice in the genus Armadillidium can roll up into an almost perfect sphere as a defensive mechanism, hence some of the common names such as pill bug or roly-poly. Most woodlice, however, cannot do this. • The woodlouse has a shell-like exoskeleton, which it must progressively shed as it grows. The moult takes place in two stages; the back half is lost first, followed two or three days later by the front. This method of moulting is different from that of most arthropods, which shed their cuticle in a single process. Metabolic rate is temperature-dependent in woodlice. In contrast to mammals and birds, invertebrates are not self heating : the external environmental temperature relates directly to their rate of respiration. • A female woodlouse will keep fertilised eggs in a marsupium on the underside of her body until they hatch into small, white offspring. The mother then appears to give birth to her offspring. Females are also capable of reproducing asexually. • Despite being crustaceans like lobsters or crabs, woodlice are said to have an unpleasant taste similar to strong urine . • Thanks for watching! • Please comment, rate, share, and subscribe: / quagmi @Quagmi • #Quagmi #Woodlouse #Woodlice #DoodleBugs #RolyPoly #DoodleBug #MonkeyPea #ParsonsPig #ChiggyWig #CheeseLog #SlateCutter #HardyBack #PennySow #CheesyBug #NutBug
