For this project I had observed the coolest bug balls on earth, the roly- poly. They are commonly known as the roly-poly, also pill bug, and wood lice. Its scientific name is Armadilidum vulgare. It is actually not an insect, it is an isopod ( a type of arthropod). It’s genus is Armadilidum, it’s Phylum is Arthopoda, and Subphylum is Crustacea. I have observed that the exoskeleton is a blue-gray, it is an invertebrate, it’s mouth, antennae and eyes are located on it’s head, and it rolls into a perfect sphere as defense when being disturbed or threatened. It has 2 pairs of antennae (one barely visible), it has 2 eyes, it has 7 pairs of jointed legs, and it’s about 3/8 inches long.…

The Earth’s largest phylum is Arthropoda, including centipedes, millipedes, crustaceans, and insects. Insects are the largest and most successful class of animals on Earth. This success, zoologists believe, is attributed from certain biological traits such as their small size or ability to fly for some (Postlethwait & Hopson, 2010). The exoskeleton of most insects supports them inside but also protects them from outside. John Meyer, professor at NCSU, explains as a "suit of armor", the exoskeleton can resist both physical and chemical attack (2007). He also covers how their small size allows them to hide, flight allows them to escape, high fertility and high fecundity allows for a large reproductive potential, metamorphosis promotes survival, and their ability to adapt easily (2007). All these characteristics listed above amongst several others are the reason why insects are the most successful animals on earth.…

There are many interesting facts about the pill bug. The pill bug is also known as sowbugs, woodlice, or by their scientific name Armadillidiidae vulgare . Some of their physical characteristics include a hard black, brown, or gray shell (depending on the species being studied), sharply angled antennae, seven pairs of legs, flattened or round-backed profile and an oval shape. Their head has 4 pairs of mouthparts and is followed by the 7 main trunk segments, which bear the walking limbs. Pill bugs only grow from 0.2 inches up to 0.6 inches. They are part of the class Crustacea and are related to lobsters, crabs, shrimp, and daphnia (water fleas). Crustaceans are also part of a larger group, Arthropoda (jointed-legged animals). All arthropods have a trunk divided into segments, a tough outer cuticle, and limbs that are flexible joints.…

There are many animals in the world. Some of them as small as ants and some are even bigger than elephants. These animals live throughout the world, some in the gigantic oceans, some in the coldest of Antarctica or some in the hottest of deserts. These are the classes of animals, mammals, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and insect. Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates. They have dry skin covered with scales or bony plates, and they usually lay eggs. Reptiles can be classified into three groups, turtles, snakes, and lizards. There are lots of species of turtles, like the sea turtle who live in the oceans. They can be identified by their long, streamlined shell and their color range of olive-green, yellow, greenish-brown, reddish-brown, or black.…

What environment do wolf spiders prefer to live in and what is their response to a change in environment? After performing experiments on wolf spiders it was determined that they prefer to reside in an area covered with leaves over an area devoid of any material. It was also determined that temperature plays a role in how much weight a spider can gain. As temperatures lower spiders on average put on less weight than spiders in warmer temperatures. The wolf spiders in my experiment also showed a response in the form of movement to immediate fluorescent lighting. Size was shown to be a determining factor in the time taken for wolf spider interactions with other wolf spiders.…
The phylum that has more species than the others is the Arthropoda. Examples found in the arthropoda are: cockroachs, ants, flies, bees, beetles, and butterflies. (Biology Questions (2003)…
Ethology is the science based on animal behavior. Many animal behaviors involve the movement of animals within its own environment. Inherited traits are traits that an animal is born with and learned behaviors are what an animal learns on its own to adapt to the surroundings. Innate behaviors like breathing and learned behaviors are talking or walking. Pill bugs are the animals we observed in the lab. Pill bugs are a family of woodlice and are a crustacean in the isopoda order. Most people know them as roly polies. They can roll into a ball which they use as a defense mechanism against predators. They often do this when they feel a vibration or pressure applied to them. Pill bugs are also decomposers and break down leftovers, feces, and so forth.…
