The second is also known as a 'pill bug'.

If he's eating those, he's 'pill popping'.

[ITSOZAZ]

ah...the second one.

and i was surprised to find that they are full of butter and bacon bits.

who knew?

When notsosure was about 2-1/2, she picked up and popped a slug into her mouth. She spit it out right away, saying to me, "That's not gum." I told her, "Rocketgirl, you're not supposed to pick up used chewing gum and put it in your mouth either."

Strictly speaking, neither of those is a "bug."

The first is an orthopteran -- a relative of grasshoppers.

The second is an isopod crustacean.

Strictly speaking, it isn't a "bug" at all. It's an isopod crustacean.



sounds gourmet...almost french.

[The Lone Ranger]

Think of it as a close relative of a lobster (which it is). Maybe he's just getting a taste for it while young ...

Cheers,

Michael

I bet it wasn't his first bug. :giggle:

It was just the first one you caught him eating.

MMmmm, isopod crustacean. Fantastic with a little garlic butter. :yum:

[ITSOZAZ]

I bet it wasn't his first bug. :giggle:

ha! good point :puke:

[Caligulette]

Isopod crustacean sounds like a foot disorder.

I like the pill bugs- as bugs, not lunch. Potato bugs, though- ooh- they are icky.

Rollie pollies, sow bugs, pill bugs, potato bugs.

:wriggle: I love roly-polies. Not so much as snacks, but as toys I'm all over them.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Are they better with sour cream and Baco Bits, I wonder?

It's clarified butter.
