Introducing the pill bug, loved by children, with large photographs. Explains interesting ecology such as the reason for curling up and their food. A photo picture book that will make you want to observe them more.
The pill bug featured is a species called "Ooka-dango-mushi," an introduced species that came to Japan after the Meiji era.
The pill bug's special skill, its ability to curl up its body tightly, is introduced with extra-large photographs. It's perfectly round from the front and side, with no gaps.
It is believed that pill bugs curl up to protect themselves from enemies like ants and from drying out by hiding their undersides.
We introduce the food of pill bugs using a quiz. They don't eat shiny leaves, but they do eat old leaves, and they even absorb calcium from old concrete, which is surprising.
In the "Baby Pill Bug" section, we show pure white babies with ultra-magnified photos. Babies born around June-July eat fallen leaves and curl up.
In addition, this book is full of highlights, including a series of photos showing the pill bug molting.
