How big are they? Kinda hard to tell. :3

Wow, so shiny! :o

homg its all pill-y. 8D -hugs the bug-

HOMG. SCARY SHIT!!
BUT THIS IS FTW~!

Reminds me of the woodlice I used to play with as a child.

OMG LUV! <3 You're right.. I do wish I had one. ;-;

Pillbugs are awesome. Giant pillbugs must be even better! I think they're cute.

Nice photo.

Aww, it's so cute.

So pritty! :D I want one!

OH
MY GOD
SOOO CUTE!!!

aww, what a cutie! I must ask, though...were they simply sent by mail? :o sorry if this sounds weird. over here we have these crazy laws so you can't import foreign animals or insects into the country. if it were possible, I would love to keep ladybugs. .__. we have very limited insect variety over here.

Yeah, he had said he sent some to another friend outside the country and didn't have any problems. I noticed that on the package he marked them as "toys", though XD
Ladybugs? That's an interesting pet to want to keep, I don't think I've heard of anyone who keeps them! They're smelly, but lovely. :)

hrm. the customs here hate me enough already, so I'm sure they'd just LOVE it if I tried to import something that's actually ALIVE. *rolls eyes* I'll get my buggies once I've moved away from this horrible place. :( I didn't know ladybugs smelled...I've only ever seen those teeny tiny cute ones when I was in denmark. one just happened to sit down on my chest and it was love at first sight. XD anyway, it's still a couple of years before I move abroad, so I have plenty of time to read up on it.

but anyway, congrats on your new babies. they are sooooo cute, I love how their...are those feelers or do they have a specific name? anyway, I love watching them move. so cute!

We have too many ladybugs over here. They keep invading my room. D:

:o if it were possible, I'd happily adopt a few dozen! XD the only insects that invade my house are bees and wasps, and...they terrify me. I'm not fond of insects that are -known- to attack people for no reason. .___.; wish we had ladybugs here....

Yeah Bees and Wasps are really really scary. I hate them. But ladybugs...blegh.

First you have only 1 in your room. You're like: "Hm...let's be kind." so you put it outside.

Then you suddenly have 2 in your room. You're like: "Okay....wtf..." but you still put them outside.

Then there are like 5 or 6 in your room. "Now you're like...AAARGH!!!"

XD yeah I can imagine that must get annoying. I can just see them being all "ohhhh this person is nice, let's invade their house! ^______^"

but I'm curious, are the ladybugs over there like super tiny, or are they big? :o

Well...what do you call big?

They are like...half a centimetre. Which is like...0,2 inch I think.

that's probably the tiny ones. :3 I think there are big ones too, like an inch big or more. but I've never seen one that big in real life, so...

Neither have I. I honestly don't think they exist.

wow, its very pretty
thats awesome, i hope you can keep'em alive^^

You're a great bug-mama, so you'll keep 'em alive and healthy. :)

I am jealous. :<

Oh my goodness what a cute lil buggie! I hope they do well!
Looks like it would make a really cute plush, with little rubbery legs and bands

Like an adorable crawly little jellybean. <3

OH man, those guys are AWESOME.

are these really considered millipedes? i don't see 2 pairs of legs per body segment
would some of the legs be tucked under or vestigial, how does that work?

All the info I could find about them being millipedes was that the pill millipede has the ability to tucks its head into the 'ball' whereas the pill bug does not. Good question, though!

when i saw this picture, it reminded me of one of my new favorite games for the wii called deadly creatures
as pill bugs are one of the prey items and that's just what they do, ball up and bounce off when you try to pounce them
and you have to go chase them down while playing as either a tarantula or scorpion roaming the southwestern drylands
some of the creature abilities and sound effects are embellished for dramatic effect,
but definitely effort into rendering all the inverts realistically, even those little roly poly crustaceans look alive

Pillipedes! Yes...so jealous...been wanting some of those for a while. Good luck! I've also heard that their immensely difficult to keep alive for more than a year. I read someone was speculating it was a fungus missing from their diet...

Sooo cute

You make me want a bug. ;-;

Maybe not something as hard to care for, but lord... if I wasn't scared of killing one, I would never be able to resist those adorable guys. D:

that is beautifull

I always wanted one of these.... Ohhhh....

oh mannnnn. I want some of these oneday, they're adorable.
