This is definitely old news to people who raise them as pets but for the rest of you who don't do that, like myself

Did you know that pill bugs... have pouches? Like... brood pouches. That their eggs and then teeny tiny little babies grow in. Called marsupium.

Yeah. Roly-polies. These guys.

Have abdominal brood "pouches". These little "bugs." (They are not actually bugs, as in insects, btw. They are terrestrial crustaceans.) Baby holding pouches.

In fact, that's just an isopod thing in general apparently? (I must admit I did not know much about isopods before I fell down this rabbit hole.)

Pouches.

That they carry their eggs in and then hold their babies in until they're ready to be born and moult for the first time.

TEENY

TINY

AHHHH little itty bitty babiesssss ♥

I don't know why this blew my mind so much, but it did. Hopefully someone else who sees this post enjoys learning this fact as much as I enjoyed learning it.

As it should, both fuckers must be in the same place of hell together.
