Lol I thought the thumbnail was a literal pumpkin variety fromthe gardening channels I follow. He better be nicknamed a pumpkin type name!!! I had to double take
Was I the only one who noticed the thumbnail was of a pill millipede and not a roly poly? They are very distantly related, not even in the same order and are similar only in appearance
In our family-owned private house, these were the most common things in the backyard. 😀 And I still love to watch these, they are fascinating. I'm from eastern Europe.
It would be cool if you focused more on the "why" like, why does the mother take care of its young where other crustaceans don't, or why do they have such long lifespans?
Yes, the isopods that can roll up into balls are called roly polys. They belong to the families Armadillidae and Armadillididae. You probably have some other isopod belonging to the genuses porcellio or porcellionides.
Be sure to watch our full Roly Poly Facts episode to learn more about them:

Not all roly polies roll into a ball
If it doesn’t, it’s not a roly poly variety of isopod lol
Trilobites rolled up too.
I love rollie pollies so much
In my country, they are often called cave pigs, or cloports
Love this!

Isopods have a million names in Britain.
Okay I'll bite what are they?
@@ashcoe7337 just Google them

@@tinknal6449 the state is where I live I was wondering what they call them in Britain?
@@ashcoe7337 I'm sure we have a variety of names in the states too, I've heard several.
I own some isopods that don’t curl up. Was that targeted to armadillidium?

I just wish they would stay away from my wild maitake mushrooms. I'm sure I've eaten a good number of them....
