Lowly Roly-Poly by evalieutionspics

Lowly Roly-Poly

This was the biggest roly-poly I have ever seen. I was 2 cm in length. It was in the pool. Unfortunately, I was not able to save him.

I thought his eyes were interesting. I guess I have never looked at one closely enough to find its eyes.

This one reminded me of our oldest son who turns 30 years old tomorrow. When he was 2 1/2, he came to me with a roly-poly in his hand, and said, "Look, Mommy! This is my best friend!" He carried took it with to the sandbox, and thankfully, put it down and forgot about it so it could go about its roly-poly business. I wasn't sure if I should be glad that he was inclusive or sad that the only thing he had to play with was a bug.
I haven't heard of a roly-poly.but it looks a bit like a wood louse. Another fascinating little creature.
