Lap Report: Pill Bugs Abstract The sow bug‚ also called the pill bug‚ is an isopod that does not have a wide range of items that it likes to eat. In the experiment we were trying to see how the pill bug reacted with certain man made substances and two substances that they would find in their everyday habitat. We tested ketchup‚ orange juice‚ sand‚ baking soda‚ flour and water. The pill bugs did not like the ketchup and orange juice I believe because of the strong acidic smell and it didn’t

Assessment The structural features of the pill bug allows it to have advantages over other organisms. The pillbugs multi-segmented body allows it to roll into a ball if it feels threatened or in danger in order to protect its self. Another advantage of have a multi-segmented body is it allows the pillbug to semi curl to flip its self back over if it is knocked down. The antennae is used to sense the environment around it‚ even if it is in ball shape form. The advantages of this is the pillbug

I aroused with a thumping headache‚ hoping my situation was just a deplorable dream. I was out of fortuity; I was stuck in the middle of the forest with Maple‚ the trail horse. I took a deep breath‚ stood up and held my phone to the empyrean. No bars‚ how typical I mentally conceived.

I took a visual examination of Maple eating wild grass‚ all of the sudden I decided that I was going to make the best

based on Climate‚ Light‚ and Surface Abstract Pill bugs‚ (also named sow or potato bugs) are terrestrial crustaceans that consume decomposed leaves or other plants. In the lab performed on September 24‚ 2010‚ animal behavior of the isopods was recorded‚ specifically in the climate that they preferred. Various climates situations such as Light vs. Dark‚ Hot vs. Cold‚ and Wet vs. Dry were tested and observed. The results came back with the pill bugs favoring dark‚ wet environments. However the data

INTRODUCTION Pill bugs are most typically found in an outside environment and studies suggest that they prefer to live in a certain environment. This certain environment is moist‚ and in order to remain most it is most likely dark and cool as oppose to dry and hot. That is why most often when you turn over a large rock that hasn’t been disturbed in a while you will find pill bugs making shelter underneath of it.

to environmental factors? For example‚ a chameleon will change colors to hide from predators. Bears hibernate in the winter to conserve energy because of the food shortages. Likewise‚ pill bugs avoid light and try to make homes in dark‚ damp environments and eat decaying plant and animal matter. The reason pill bugs prefer dark and damp environments is because they behave negatively to phototaxis‚ which is the response to light‚ and have a partially positive behavior towards hydrotaxis‚ which is the

Science Observation Results Essay (Living Organism) 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
