Earthwork Jim!

Earthworm is the common name for the largest members of Oligochaet. They love to eat dirt. They eat that stuff all the live long day. They usually hang out at night because the sun will melt them. Birds like to eat them because they taste like spaghetti!

Push Mowers+Weed Wackers=Rollie Pollie












Apparently Rollie Pollies are called "Woodlouses" for some unknown reason. They are crustaceans, which means they live off of the crust from sammich's  that you don't want and throw on the ground.  I was mowing the lawn today and I saw one. I've always likes these little guys, especially the sound they make when you crush them!
