What I Think About Bugs

I look forward to this month, as I will be learning about insects! My knowledge of insects is not very vast. I have never been one to be scared or freaked out by the bug world. I have in fact found many of these "creepy-crawlies" fascinating. Yes, there are the nasty looking bugs that many fear, but there are also bugs that bring us all joy and even great memories! One bug in particular is the Armadillididae, or as some may call the "roly poly".
I can remember going out into the yard with my brother and finding these bugs just to watch them roll up into little balls and then after many moments of complete silence watching them release back into natural form.
As a kid it was amusing, just like capturing lightning bugs.
It will be interesting to learn the "behind the scenes" aspects of the bugs. The reasons why they do the things they do. I look forward to expanding my understanding of these bugs and being able to not just find amusement by these bugs, but realize the purpose behind the actions.
