Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: Some people are afraid of bugs such as spiders or beetles. But there is one bug that just about everybody likes-pill bugs. If you ever pick one up, you know why its nickname is "roly poly." A pill bug rolls up into a tight little ball to protect itself. This bug is scared of you, not the other way around! These little brown bugs can be found almost everywhere, except desert. That is because they need to stay moist. One of their favorite hang outs is under damp flower pots. Did you know that pill bugs have something in common with kangaroos? After her eggs hatch, the mother pill bug carries her young in a pouch under her belly. The little pill bugs stay there until they are big enough to be on their own. Pill bugs also have something in common with snakes. Just as snakes shed their skin when it too small, pill bugs do too. This is called "molting." A pill bug molts about five times until it is full grown. Pill bugs are a little like owls, too. Pill bugs are nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. That is when they most like to wan  der around and look for food. And just like earthworms, pill bugs help break down plants in the soil. Pill bugs aren't just nice bugs.
