I Saw A Woodlouse Give Birth!
My flatmate Lisa and I witnessed the birth of hundreds of tiny woodlice the other day!
The woodlouse was gonna drown in the shower in Lisa's room, so she rescued it on the end of a toilet roll. Then she came into my room and was like "Look Jen! I saved it!" and I was like "Argggggggh! Get that out my room!" so she took it into her room and put it on the window sill outside. The next thing I know, she runs into my room and screams "Jen! The woodlouse exploded!" so I ran into her room and keeping a safe distance away I saw this yellow pile of wiggly things. I couldn't see the woodlouse at first, but it was under the pile of wiggly things. So we figure out that it must've given birth and then I looked it up online and apparently the woodlice keep their babies in a pouch until they burst forth!  Anyone else seen anything like this before? __________________

Sorry, it could be an English thing... Lisa kept calling it a 'cheesy bug'... does that ring a bell?
*looks it up* pill bug n. In both senses also called slater, wood louse, also called regionally doodlebug. 1. A small terrestrial isopod crustacean of the genus Armadillidium closely related to the sow bug and having a convex, segmented, flexible body enabling it to curl into a ball when disturbed.In this sense also called roly-poly. 2. A sow bug. __________________

I kill all bugs that appear in the house.
If this was in a park, it'd be cool. But not in the house.  __________________

I would've killed it too, but Lisa even feels sorry for inanimate objects.

I would be pretty grossed out of my mind that little wood-eating termites are exploding all over to notice how cool it actually is

It sounds ugly, but it's pretty interesting though!
