Ladybird - I love the seductive look of the female bug in the top center. And the male in the bottom right, arms behind his back showing off his six-pack. Ha! All they need is a re-branding and a cuteness makeover, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I fed my little brother a roly-poly once, we were picking blueberries and they were running around on the ground under the bush. I picked one up and rolled it around so it curled up, and handing it to him saying it was a baby blueberry. He popped it into his mouth and chewed it up, before he noticed the panicked look on my face. He thought it WAS a blueberry, and I figured he would realize it was a bug.
Not in the minority at all nut!! Woodlice are the gardener's friend, playing a very welcome role in the breakdown of decaying plant matter. And decaying means DEAD plant matter, my compost heap has loads of these little chaps and our local robin is so grateful whenever I mulch. Imagine me throwing poison around to wipe out woodlice, our robin ingests poisoned woodlice, a sparrowhawk kills the robin and likely feeds it to his/her chicks, passing on the poison. Thus we create a chain of destruction. Education is needed.

Yes, lurking in dark corners doesn't do much for the image does it?

Well their Latin name is Armadillidium so that is an excellent call Lants.
I like monkey peas as well.

I wonder if the promoters of death have continued following this thread and have at least thought about it
