Pill Bugs
I aroused with a thumping headache, hoping my situation was just a deplorable dream. I was out of fortuity; I was stuck in the middle of the forest with Maple, the trail horse. I took a deep breath, stood up and held my phone to the empyrean. No bars, how typical I mentally conceived. I ambulated around in circles for a couple of minutes endeavoring to cerebrate of an orchestration. I took a visual examination of Maple eating wild grass, all of the sudden I decided that I was going to make the best of things, after all this was my vacation. I was about to leave Maple but I didn't have the heart. I additionally didn't optate to leave the spot but it was getting tardy and there were all sorts of wild creatures. So I got on Maple and galloped off probing for a designation of civilization. After twenty minutes I commenced to get hopeless until I visually perceived the ocean. I commenced to get exhilarated and commenced heading in the direction of the beach. Albeit there was no civilization I was ecstatic not to be stuck in the middle of the Forest. I realized it was already dark and I should probably set up camp. To commence I made a fire, made a shelter out of sticks and leaves and tied Maple to a tree. Soon it was day and my peregrination was just beginning. I recalled what I promised myself. That I was going to have fun so I decided to stay a couple hours on the beach. As I took a look in the ocean I visually perceived the glistening clear blue dihydrogen monoxide ripple as the tides went in and out. I look an even more proximate and I visually perceived little ebony fish swimming in circles and the most exquisite accumulation of seashells, I have ever optically discerned. As I prehended a couple of seashells to take as a souvenir I optically discerned a breathtaking visual perception, the infrequent Fraser dolphins jumping In and out of dihydrogen monoxide. Albeit it wasn't that far away sharks are kenned to roam near beaches. All of a sudden I auricularly

    Pillbug Lab

    This experiment was conducted to learn how regular behavior of a pillbug is affected in the presence of a substance such as hydrochloric acid. Behavior of the pill bugs was first monitored and recorded to discern how the species acts under normal conditions. The behavior was then observed and documented after the pill bugs were placed in a choice chamber with HCl and water. There was no change in activity after these substances were placed with the pill bugs. From this experiment, we can conclude not only that pill bug behavior goes unchanged in the presence of water, but also that the behavior stays consistent in the presence of hydrochloric acid. However, the HCl in this experiment was diluted to a pH of 2, and we have yet to test differing dependent factors on these pill bugs.…

    This lab felt very “slow” because there was not a lot of action going on. The pill bugs would either walk around in circles or stay put. However, it was both fun and annoying when my group tried to put the pill bugs in the chamber and take them out. We had to put a lot of effort to get the pill bugs on to the paint brushes because they would scurry around and it would take a while to find them. Also, it was cool to see the pill bugs use their defense mechanism (it only happened once) by going into a hard circular shape when being prodded at by a paintbrush. This lab had a lot of experimental areas. The amount of water or basic or acidic solution to the paper may have affected results. For the first part of the lab, outside factors could have…

    The structural features of the pill bug allows it to have advantages over other organisms. The pillbugs multi-segmented body allows it to roll into a ball if it feels threatened or in danger in order to protect its self. Another advantage of have a multi-segmented body is it allows the pillbug to semi curl to flip its self back over if it is knocked down. The antennae is used to sense the environment around it, even if it is in ball shape form. The advantages of this is the pillbug will know whether or not it is safe to come out of its ball shape form, if it had been threatened earlier. The antennae also allows the pillbugs to send signals to one another, it is a source of communication between them. The color of the pill bugs can be extremely useful because they become hard to find when in its natural environment. Pillbugs are a dark grey color, since they live in dark places and in the soil, it becomes harder for them to be preyed upon. Every feature of the pillbug provides some sort of protection as well as advantages to the organism itself.…

    The sow bug, also called the pill bug, is an isopod that does not have a wide range of items that it likes to eat. In the experiment we were trying to see how the pill bug reacted with certain man made substances and two substances that they would find in their everyday habitat. We tested ketchup, orange juice, sand, baking soda, flour and water. The pill bugs did not like the ketchup and orange juice I believe because of the strong acidic smell and it didn’t like the baking soda because of the texture. The pill bugs didn’t have a problem with the water and sand because those two are found in the everyday life. The data that we found did not fully support our hypothesis. The pill bugs are very simple isopods that reacted well with the sand because that substance is found in their habitat.…

    Pill Bugs Attraction to Colored Lights Introduction: This experiment was conducted to see which colored light pill bugs would prefer more out of red, blue, yellow, and green lights. If pill bugs went to the green and yellow lights more than the blue and red lights, then this means they like brighter lights more than gloomier lights. For the experimental group, the colors used were blue, red, yellow, and green. The controlled group was the middle chamber. It got regular light from the classroom. The independent variable was four different colors of the lights. The dependent variable was the light they chose to go to. After three trials that lasted ten minutes each, we recorded all the information down in a table.…

    Pill Bugs Behavior

    • 474 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Pill bugs are most typically found in an outside environment and studies suggest that they prefer to live in a certain environment. This certain environment is moist, and in order to remain most it is most likely dark and cool as oppose to dry and hot. That is why most often when you turn over a large rock that hasn't been disturbed in a while you will find pill bugs making shelter underneath of it. When pill bugs cannot have a habitat that provides them with enough moisture they tend to group together to prevent further moister loss to the environment. In our laboratory setting we were attempting to determine just how often the pill bugs would chose the moist setting over the dry one, and if they did settle in the dry setting would they group together to prevent moisture loss. A simple experiment, as it is only testing really one of the three previously stated habitat expectations of the pill bug. Our hypothesis was if presented with a choice between a wet environment and a dry environment, then the pill bugs would consistently choose the wet environment.…

    Pill bugs live in an outside environment where they are able to get the necessary amount of energy from organic matter. This environment is where water and organic matter is plentiful. In there natural habitat, pill bugs are found in dark, damp places. Living in moist places is important for pill bugs so they can take in enough water, and if water is not available, they group together to prevent water loss. Pill bugs most often live in dark places because they have a negative photo taxis. Darker places also tend to be cooler and damper. Each experiment connected to how the pill bugs would behave in a certain environment. We were able to test these experiments in a laboratory way to see if the natural environments were also true. If pill bugs are given a light and dark environment, then they will prefer the dark environment. If pill bugs were put in a warm or cold environment, they will prefer the cooler temperature. If pill bugs were in a dry or moist are, they would flock to the moist are. In the last experiment we tested to see if they preferred shelter or unsheltered environments, for which they choose unsheltered. After doing all four experiments, it was clear that pill bugs have a concise behavioral pattern in each environment.…

    Pill bugs are said to have some sort of turn alternation built in there cognitive functions, which causes them to take a zig-zag route rather than going along in a straight line for a long distance (Ono Tomohiro & Takagi Yuika, 2006). Distance does not play a factor in the pill bugs making turn alternation even if it is a forced turn, pill bugs will still make a zig-zag motion (Kupfermann, 1966). The zig-zag motion shows that pill bugs don’t have the ability to make two consecutive right turns.…

    My adolescent legs strain as I continue along the path aimlessly and my stomach rumbles in emptiness as I realise, I left without food. How can one think of such things at a time like that? I most certainly didn't. Just minutes before leaving for an awesome party one doesn’t remember to do a lot of things and now the only thing dwelling in my gut is the sore pain that was the increasing hate for the cruel beings that have abandoned me here. Lost in my thoughts, my melancholic walking pattern is disrupted as my foot catches on a thick branch in the deceptive darkness and I fall swiftly face first into a small jagged rock. Dazed, I lift myself up from the ground and dust myself off. My left eyelid closes automatically as blood rolls down the top of my face. Cursing, I wipe my face with my white sleeve, soaking the cotton a blackish red instantly. The shock disperses and pain sets in, sharp agony mixed with a strange tingling sensation on my forehead.…

    You feel the cool air warm up around yourself. There is a pleasantness that can only be found in these warm winter days. Birds squawk overhead. In a pack they fly in v’s. You wanted to fly, but the dream fled after you jumped off the deck. Birds gain height, you gained a broken arm. The birds slow and descend onto the small patch of grass to your left. Wildlife is all around you, but the adults don’t seem to notice. Not far ahead, a squirrel shoves acorns into his mouth, climbing up a tree he deposits his cache into a hole. He runs down the tree to start the process again. Nature is a cycle, a loop that won’t…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    For this project I had observed the coolest bug balls on earth, the roly- poly. They are commonly known as the roly-poly, also pill bug, and wood lice. Its scientific name is Armadilidum vulgare. It is actually not an insect, it is an isopod ( a type of arthropod). It’s genus is Armadilidum, it’s Phylum is Arthopoda, and Subphylum is Crustacea. I have observed that the exoskeleton is a blue-gray, it is an invertebrate, it’s mouth, antennae and eyes are located on it’s head, and it rolls into a perfect sphere as defense when being disturbed or threatened. It has 2 pairs of antennae (one barely visible), it has 2 eyes, it has 7 pairs of jointed legs, and it’s about 3/8 inches long.…

    We had an early night. Mosquitoes and eerie sounds made by the nocturnal creatures of the jungle kept us awake for most of the night. I had almost made up my mind to give up. At first break of daylight, we were up. We ate the food we had brought and set off for Kampung Melur. Our walk slowed down to a snail’s pace as we had to make our way cross muddy paddy fields. As it began to get dark, we frantically searched for a site to set up camp. Suddenly, we saw the flicker of kerosene lamps in the distance.…

    The Worst Day of My Life

    • 377 Words

    It was Friday the 15th. I got up early and there was a sun shining outside my window. I cut school. I thought the best thing to do is to go to the river with my friends. When I was going outside I saw a black cat crossing my path. I've already known that this day isn't going to be one of the bests in my life. Later it turned out that my worst fears were realized. I bought a bus ticket. When I got to the bus stop and I understood that I'm late, it really put me out of humour. Me and my friend decided to go on foot. It was a really hot day. After we had arrived to the river, I saw that I forgot my swimming trunks. Even though there's heat, water was cold and it's impossible to swim there without trunks so I decided to sit in the shade. I didn't feel to play football or voleyball. There's a place where we can rent a canoe or kayak near the river. I heard that there's cheap. And it really is! It's only 4$ per hour. I didn't think long and 5 minutes later I decided to boat down the river. But unfortunately bad luck was chasing me. After I had boated about 100 feets, the sun set, it starded raining. I knew I had to go back but boating upstream was really taft. I reached the land and I was walking alongshore having my canoe on tow. I had had (?) enough of it! In a minute I was failing (loosing power, is 'failing' correct?). Rain was even bigger than a few moments later. When I reached the harbour I was tired out and drenched to the skin. In a hurry I gave back a canoe. There's no-one near the river, even my friend hid somewhere. I didn't care about it. I started to comming back to home. I wasn't cold no longer. When I came to home, my mom greeted me. She was happy I finally got home. And I was happy beacause it was all over. It was definitelly the worst day in my…
