>>60019391
They're not insects, they're crustaceans.
>>60019126
first post best post.
>>60019435
They are???? N-no way
>>60019080
I used to collect these as a child, my teacher told me off because she thought I was killing them but I just liked to play with them.
>>60019080
Cochinilla.

>>60019951
I am like this. Used to play with spiders and all sorts of bugs. Now can't stand being near them.
Turks
Woodlice.
>>60019505
It's true, I had to do a project on them when I was a kid.
>>60019951
Same here. They were easy to catch, found everywhere and not as disgusting as spiders and insects, except the ones with eggs.
>>60019173
t. a*menian
Potato bug or bill bug (I'm actually Canadian)
>>60019951
I don't about screaming like a little girl. That's embarrassing but it's better to be cautious of contact with insects. Kids are stupid, they touch everything. If it's an unfamiliar bug it might be poisonous or venomous and familiar bugs you know are harmless might be carrying disease and parasites.

Armadillo spiders.
>>60020069
Lol i stopped being afraid of common "daddy longlegs" only few years ago and started play with them.
Rooty tooties
>>60019080
albanesi
>>60020403
daddy longlegs are still cool, I like them because I remember watching a documentary about them as a child and they only eat moss or something like that. Which made them less scary than spiders.
>>60020403
daddy long legs are alright, and I'm okay with most insects but big spiders creep me out, fucking hate them.
>>60020313
?
>daddy long legs
brits have the dumbest names for everything

Ja, das ist ein Ötökkä

>>60019585
>>60020140
Thanks for enlightening me.
They're super cute. I used to play with them all the time when I was little and I sometimes flip them back on their feet if I see them struggling upside down.
>>60020603
Was machst du denn hier Finnland?
>>60020644
You're welcome. Are you a grill.
>>60019126
first post best post
>>60020570
We called them Senokosets = harvestmen or кocинoжкa = mowleg.
>>60020706
Ja.
H-how did you get to that conclusion though.
>>60020469
this
rolly poelys
>>60020813
The way you talk. It was 50/50, a grill or a faggot.
Wood louse because I'm cultured.
Everyone else says "gogos" or "gogomanetjie" (pronounce it as you would a Dutch word)
>>60020570
Doesn't seem we're the only ones that call them that >>60020403
What do yanks call them?
>>60020924
He was just using the english name for them.
tatu-bola
>>60020957
Brazilian things always sound funny. Papakakatoto.
>>60020859
Oh, you have a point.
What do rolli pollis eat btw I've always wondered
>>60020944
Yes that's my point, it seems Russians use the British term for it rather than whatever the American term for it is.
>>60021051
Ah ok, it is because British English > American English.
pissenbedden, literally translated piss beds
>>60021034
They eat dead leafs and plant life.
>>60021034
>The woodlouse is a herbivorous animal and therefore only eats organic plant matter. The woodlouse rarely eats live plants and feeds on the decaying leaf and plant matter found on the forest floor such as leaves, rotting wood and fruits that fall from the trees above.
>>60021008
It's because most animal names come from native Indian languages like tuppi-guarani
Jaguatirica is one of my favourite Brazilian animal names. It sounds nice and I think it goes well with the animal.
>>60021051
>>60020570
Don't we call them daddy long legs too?
>>60019391
no love for millipedes?
>>60020706
>Was machst du denn hier Finnland?
Holiday. I like spending time here.
>>60021070
cheers mate.
>>60021087
>piss beds
Aah, you Dutch never seize to amaze me.
>>60021090
>>60021110
Thank you. They're like nature's little vacuum cleaners. Cute.
>>60020570
that's a british thing? what do you call them?
>>60020469
But they are cuter than Albozergs
>>60021117
Tatu is indeed from tupi, and bola is just ball.
It's also this mammal's name, we also call the crustacean tatu (or tatuzinhos) because it looks like one.
>>60021151
I've always called them Granddaddy Longleggeds.

How common are these weird animals in Brazil? Do you have to go out to the more wilderness areas to find them?
>>60019080
Mokritsa. From the word 'mokrij' which means 'wet'.
>>60021051
taught in schools.
>>60021336
It's hard to believe this harmless looking animal causes leprosy.
>>60021336
Went to Nevada and killed shitloads of those fuckers last summer. Got paid for it, too.
Apparently they're very disease-ridden.
>>60021401
You can only see them in rural areas basically.
I don't remember the last time I've seen one, it was probably at the zoo when I was a kid.
>>60021336
Yes, I used to live in Brazil.
Tatus are adorable, although pangolins are even more. It's a shame they're both being hunted so much.
>>60021401
They are relatively rare. I mean, it's not hard to find them in the wilderness, but you won't see them anywhere near a town with over 100,000 inhabitants.
>>60021336
THAT is a tatu-bola. OP's picture is a tatuzinho de jardim.
>>60021199
I don't know what the english word is for being able to not pee in your bed but in the old days they were believed to help with that
>>60021336
Obrigada.
>>60021633
W-what would you do? Throw a couple of them on the sheets so kids would stop peeing the bed? Put them in a jar next to the bed???
>>60021401
Common in the south of the U.S. The carry leprosy
>>60021633
We have piss ants but those are those little ants that like to make nests in bathrooms if they get the chance
>>60021766
I think they would even put them under the sheets
Cochon de Saint Antoine, lit. "Pig of Saint Anthony"

>>60019080
tatu bola
>>60019080
Marumusi=huddle bug
>>60021336
Apparently they have a giant semi-bipedal variant that lives in the deep forest
>>60021943
Aaaaaaaaaaaa they're cute but n-no thank you
>>60022097
why do you keep stuttering mate
are you an anime girl
>>60022219
>He is not an anime girl

>>60021110
W-what? They eat what? Oh god...
>posted
>deleted from folder.
>>60022982
Barbara is an ugly name, I don't really like it. It's one of those names I associate to people who spent a lot of time trying to pass highschool and after having finished uni and coming back to my hometown I find out they're pregnant/with a child.
Please refrain from calling me Barbara. Thank you in advance desu.
>>60020570
If we're talking about Cellar Spiders, I call them daddy long legs too.
>>60023068
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
On a side note what are those crustaceans you can find at beaches if you lift rocks? They kinda look like a mix of rollie pollies and roaches but larger than rollie pollies. They're okay if they're like one but if they're like a thousand they're disgusting af.
>>60023179
Barbara, stop being so uptight.
>>60019505
They are.
pic related: ocean one
>>60023251
I have something to confess, Barbara. I have a fetish for Portuguese girls. Wanna be my online gf?
>>60023253
Deutschland-kun I specifically said and explained that I don't want to be called Barbara why are you doing this to me I even said please and thank you.
>>60023251
sand fleas?
>>60023343
Well, see
>>60023304
I'm just tsundere for you.
>>60022992
So are they eating the Doritos or what?
>>60023304
Sorry Deutschland-kun I like someone else who happens to also be from Deutschland desu.

get a room you 2
>>60023385
Yeah, they are having a little snack with friends before returning to the dark abyss
>>60023251
woodlouse and those giant ones in the pictures above are related, only the giant ones are found at sea. only i don't want to search again or look again to give the name. google 'giant woodlouse', you are looking at baby ones on the beach.
>>60023393
Fine I don't even like Portuguese girls anyway, you're uh... hairy, and uh... ugly.. yeah..
>>60023442
They are officially called Isopods
>>60023365
Yeah I think that's it. Do they burry themselves in the (wet) sand? I used to catch those in the beach when I was little. Buy then I saw like a thousand of them when lifting a rock and was forever disgusted.
>>60023559
Yeah, they tickle when you let them sit on your palm because they try to dig another hole
stonoga murowa
literally wall centipede
>>60023442
I-i don't want to look it up either which is why I was asking in the first place but thank you for enlightening me.
>>60023452
G-gomen Deutschland-kun. Blame your fellow countryman who stole my heart F O R E V E R ;_;
>>60019391
>Bicho
that literally means "boy" in Georgian, like when addressing someone "hey you, boy"
>>60019126
This
>>60023705
You would've been happier with me. Good bye Barbara, my love.
>>60023759
Oh. Bicho means animal/creature in Portuguese.

They're kinda creepy desu. Although centipedes are worse. I once saw a huge one in my house it was about 10cm long and it was disgusting
>>60024674
I have a house centipede stuck in my shower right now.
I'm trying to decide if I should kill it or let it live and eat other bugs in the house.
For now, I'll kill it if it doesn't escape my shower by the time I come back.
>>60019080

Liba.
>>60024739
Don't kill it anon. If you don't want it in your house try to catch it (like with a cup) and throw it outside. :(

hi
Potato Bug
Rolli Polli
Pill Bug
Metroid
Samus-Bug
Wood lice
Goron-Bug
They have lots of names.
These are called "siira". I would like to think it comes from "siirappi" (syrup) but that is sadly not the case. Also maasiira = earth siira.
>>60021151
I've only ever heard people call them daddy long-legs. From the Northeast.
I know that some people call them harvesters, but I've never actually heard anyone say that.
Like every german name of something it is a nice KELLERASSEL
