Huh, interesting. Well today I learned a little more about creepy-crawlies than I expected. Also, a pill bug is considered a type of millipede? Well hell, I never would have guessed that.
I was actually very surprised to learn about the pill bug as well, if Iโd known they were millipedes as a kid I would not have found them so cute and fun lol
No, a pill bug is not a type of millipede, they're actually crustaceans, and not closely related.
Pill bugs used to be one of the few exclusively terrestrial crustaceans, but now almost all insects are classified as crustaceans, so, i'd have to double check the phylogenies.
Oh? Okay then, well either way I've learned something new today. Interesting, not like it's going to change the price of weed in Colorado for my daily life, but thanks for sharing. ๐
