  Is both roly and poly.

  So I probably shouldn’t boil, mash or put in a stew? Damn, that’s a lot of time I’ve wasted…

  That’s definitely a bug, just not an insect

    Technically not a ‘bug’ but ok.

      I could see it both ways. Crustaceans are arthropods and this resembles a true bug about as much as a spider does, but I’ll give you that crustaceans are probably not top on people’s list of “looks like a bug.”

      I lean towards using it for most kinds of “small invertebrate pest,” because those are the factors about bugs that I care about. Even a tiny, annoying hummingbird would only seem like a bug to me until I looked at it, but something with chitin almost always feels like it counts

  Am I missing the point by saying that’s not a potato bug? Not even sure it’s a pillbug, but maybe is. Looks like a sowbug.

    That there’s your standard issue roly-poly.

      Also called a pillbug. Okay, I’ll defer to you - maybe sowbug lol a little flatter.

  That’s definitely a bug. Bug isn’t a taxonomic term.

    I believe it is. A bug is a range of insects with piercing mouthparts. Like sap-sucking guys, or assassin bugs. I don’t think mosquitoes count though. I could be wrong.

      Bug is a taxonomic term? Fucking taxonomists. Taxonomy is a garbage pseudoscience that takes our living natural language and turns it into a dead, useless thing like their pinned up butterflies.

  I think I saw another post where it’s good at heavy metal spoil extraction.

  Is it the same type of creature?
