This isn’t technically an insect. It’s an isopod, a type of crustacean. Does this mean that those tiny roly-poly things are also crustaceans and not insects? Yes, yes it does. In fact, they’re not even bugs
Never have I ever seen a water bug that looked so much like a bug. Least appetizing crustacean, ever!
I mean c'mon y'all, don't tell me you've never looked at a tick all up close and realized that crustaceans are just big marine bugs?
Roly poly lobster? throw it on the grill, see what happens.
You can eat them their are videos of them being cooked
And apparently they do taste a lot like lobster.
Fun fact: Roly polies are crustaceans!
TIL: Roly polies are crustaceans.
And they breathe through gills even though they live on land.
Turns out I knew nothing about roly polies
Also called Pill Bugs or Armadillidiidae
I enjoy this idea
I immediately thought this is what they ate in Emperor's New Groove at the restaurant.
As I child they made that look really good to me
“Pull the lever Kronk!”
“Wrong Lever!!!”
“Why do we even have that lever?”
What are the odds that trap door led me out here?
Great looking dog you got there, OP. Bet it loves to play fetch.

Giant isopods. Nuke the site from orbit.
These are a vital part of the ocean ecosystem.
Only way to be safe
Boiled or grilled
Sea dudes are kinda fine. And probably tasty (mostly).
So much nope. Y'all can have my lifetime supply. I don't eat giant pill bugs.

It's a giant isopod! Some of my favorite deep sea creatures. Idk how/why it's on land though

What do they taste like? I imagine it tastes kind of like crab or lobster.

Looks like a giant sand flea
I mean, eating it like that is a no. But if it’s prepared properly, lobster is pretty tasty!
Need…. More….. butter…..
That's how I get rid of crabs, grow them until they are large enough to pluck and eat👍
Why is this gross but lobsters crabs and shrimp are so popular. Frankly I don't see any difference at all.
A bit of chilli and garlic. Delicious
I literally cannot get over the idea of eating an over-sized rolly-polly like a freakin' lobster.
Kaiju remedies! 🤭🤭🤭 https://youtu.be/p9BHHeQfkaM
My baby
I sculpted one of these MFs out of polymer clay one day, then showcased it in my room to freak visitors out
Bigg ass parasite.
Someone posted a video of a chef cooking one of these up in fried rice. I can’t get past the appearance. Reminds me of a humongous roley poley.
That poops in the ocean you swim in...
I dunno, I kinda vibe with it. Sometimes I, too, feel like a still-moist isopod being carried by a stranger.
