Being a roly poly mom means carrying dozens of babies at once — all protected inside a pouch until they’re ready for the outside world.

See how it works in our latest episode, freshly spawned! https://youtu.be/pmLHg_B8uoI

It may look like a simple backyard bug, but the roly poly is anything but ordinary.
These tiny crustaceans (yes, they’re related to shrimp and lobsters) carry their eggs in a fluid-filled pouch, where dozens of babies develop before entering the world.
Watch how this ancient ocean adaptation made its way onto land in our latest episode, out tomorrow.

It curls into a perfect ball when it’s scared — and you’ve probably seen it in your backyard.
This tiny crustacean has something in common with kangaroos. And no, it’s not getting in occasional fist fights with humans.
To find out how roly polies carry their babies, and why it’s one of the strangest parenting strategies in nature, stay tuned for our newest episode, out Tuesday.

These bugs don’t have to fly far at all — in fact, they hitchhike! https://youtu.be/IGtbHRPcSe8
Spotted lanternflies spread by clinging to cars, shipping containers… even outdoor furniture.
Watch how they got here — and why they’re so hard to stop.
And maybe next time you take a road trip, check your ride for any uninvited passengers!

Ever checked your egg carton before putting it in your shopping cart — just to make sure they were all intact? https://youtu.be/ilpmpCEDK8A
