Rolly Pollies




Here we have some pill bugs / sow bugs / rolly polly bugs that have decided to become very visible after a Spring rainstorm.

No doubt they were content to lay low in the subterranean realm of the planter, but the influx of water drove them toward the surface.

As people started to notice this large amount of these bugs crawling around, we got a somewhat panicked call from the owner of the property.

I told the property owner that these bugs really are harmless, a nuisance at best, and once things dry up, they'll return to their homes and just continue living their bug lifestyle.

I gave him the option of either letting nature take it's course, and letting them return underground peacefully, or of us destroying all of these life forms through the application of pesticides.

Ew York City will be back tomorrow.
