- Today Paisley and I go exploring in our own yard on the hunt for ISOPODS!
Isopods in our own yard? Yes and you can find them in your yard too should you go exploring. Easy to find, easy to care for these amazing little critters are actually not native to North America but play a valuable role in the ecology of the forrest floor. True detritivores they act as a clean up crew of sorts breaking down plant and animal matter.
Whatever name you call them be it pill bugs, sow bugs, wood lice, they are all Isopods and they make fascinating critters to study and observe. Easily cared for extremely low maintenance pets.
So come with Paisley and I today as we explore and discuss the Isopods we find in our backyard in todays video Isopods Gone Wild.
Enjoy!

I didn't know they shed. I've had a bunch in my worm bin for years. Cute daughter and I love that she's not afraid of the creepy crawlers.
"Oh.... My.... Gosh!" I love it! She is so good. What a wonderful video Mr. Biggs. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
Your daughter’s adorable. We used to call those little buggers potato bugs when I was a kid. 👍✌️
It is so cool to see you with your daughter outside playing, and learning. No computer insight just fun. Enjoy her.
Your daughter is adorable ❤️ and I love how you’re teaching her not to be afraid of creepy crawlers.
Having fun with Daddy! Precious!
It’s always a good day for isopod hunting!!
Holy smokes, I wish my daughter was that young again.
Precious!
This is one of the things we and my 4 year old son do together, he loves to look and care for them. For him being so young he knows an amazing amount.
Thank you for teaching your daughter the love of all creatures even the wiggly ones.
i've seen a bunch of these before
Hi, That was an absolute joy to view with you and your beautiful little helper. Keep em coming - top man. Greetings from the UK.
Great job Paisley .
Might be a bit late but most of them look a bit more like Porcellio spinicornis then Oniscus asellus to me at least
Great video! This was the perfect recess activity for my littles who are still doing distance learning. We didn't find nearly as many as y'all did, though. My youngest is super interested in isopods because of your videos on them.
I love my tank of wilds! Thanks for the isopod content. 👍
Those look like Armadillidian Grantulum!
What an awesome Dad!
Great video! very informative... I think those isopods you're finding are Porcellio spinicornis though.
