Looks like the rolly polly bugs I used to see as a kid in CA. Look exactly the same, only maybe a 1/4” head to tail.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I remember seeing a preview of that movie when I was a little kid. That would have been in the 1950's, so it would probably have been about the time it came out. We didn't have tv yet (too far out in the country to pick up the big city stations), so my parents must have taken me to a children's movie at the theater. They were probably less careful about previews back then.

Anyhow, I remember being absolutely terrified, mostly (I think) of a shot of a headless body. (I guess the crab monsters prefered the tastiest parts and left the rest....) Had nightmares for a week. But I could never remember the name of the movie. I've even tried to find it a few times over the years but I didn't have a clue about the title.

Now I'll have to see if it's streaming somewhere.

Pretty scary, but if we tell the Japanese that it’s an aphrodisiac, they’ll be hunted to extinction in no time.

And a semi-serious question: it looks like a trilobite. Are we sure that it’s not? Or at least a close cousin?

It does. It’s going to kill us all. It’s “The Attack Of The Giant Isopods!’’

That’s what I thought of too. One of my daughters was enthralled with roly-polies as a little kid. I’m sending her this. Can you imagine having those things at a foot long crawling all over the place in your yard!?

How closely related are isopods to trilobites?

I was born in ‘56. I had an uncle that babysat us on weekends. He was always watching the Saturday afternoon scifi/horror movies.

I got to see a lot of them!

My Mom used to chastise him, ‘cause my sister and I would refuse to go to bed that night!

LOL!

I was waiting for that!

Suppose the lobster jokes will slow down now?
