Sowbugs

When I was a kid we called sowbugs “roly-polys”, because they roll up in a ball when threatened. In some other places that kind of isopod is called a “woodlouse”.

The thrushes are largely insectivorous, and also are fond of spiders, myriapods, sowbugs, snails, and angleworms. The vegetable portion of their diet consists mostly of berries and other small fruits. As a family thrushes can not be called clean feeders, for the food eaten often contains a considerable proportion of such matter as dead leaves, stems, and other parts of more or less decayed vegetation.
