Often mistaken for beetles, these live terrestrial arthropods live their whole lives on land, feeding on decaying organic matter. • When disturbed or threatened, pill bugs will roll up into a tight ball, earning them the nickname rollie pollies. • Contrary to pill bugs, sow bugs can be identified by their tail-like appendages and will remain flat and still when threatened, unable to roll up into a ball. • Ideal for teaching animal behavior and demonstrating response to stimuli such as light or heat, these wingless crustaceans are: • Easy to maintain in the classroom • Do not bite or sting • Demonstrate differences in defensive behavior between species • Ward’s Science — Connecting Over 150 years of science exploration to tomorrow’s innovation.Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell button so you’ll always know when our newest new videos are available: https://bit.ly/38X1FPp • For information on any products or services seen in this video, visit us at https://wardsci.com/ • Check out Ward’s World for a never-ending stream of ideas and inspiration for making science fun: https://wardsworld.wardsci.com/ • And follow us on social media for the very latest in the world of science education: • Facebook: / wardsci • Instagram: / wardsscience • Twitter: / wardsscience • Pinterest: / wardsscience
