When you encounter a potato bug, do you touch it to make it roll into a ball and roll it back & forth?

Or do you just "sike him out" like you're going to do that and let him go on his way?

I very gently touch it. We used to call them rollie pollies when I was a little kid. 😝

@DanielChristensen yeah if I see one I don't make them roll up anymore and not roll them back and forth, i just "sike them out" for a moment, i know they're like "oh crap, here we go, humans..." then i freak them out by faking it and wave, "go on your way lil dude :)

I don't bother anything that doesn't bother me... No kill policy unless provoked.

@SW-User I didn't say anything about killing them

Lol I rolled them around a few times in childhood. Don't mess with things that aren't bothering me now.

@DanielChristensen well they never bothered me or anything but well haven't since I seen one of those potato bugs myself

I used to do that, when I was five.
