I thought the background music was accurate... These plants only took millions of years to grow, in various shapes and colors, to kill and digest things in the most beautiful way. So, an epic yet dark sounding background theme makes sense to me. I feel like a lot of you expect quieter music or something very slow, but, evolution is not quiet, nor is it understated.

Off topic facts: Pill bugs are actually crustaceans, in fact so are many of the small creatures you unearth in your backyard. Most of the time crustaceans have a harder exterior. However, this does not include shells. Shelled animals belong to the mollusk group, whereas the external armor of a crustacean is non removable. Pill pugs can live up to 4 years, so they can also be your actual animal pet if your not paying for fiddler crabs or one of those huge centipedes. If you want pill bugs, you have to find them! Most are found under rocks. Be gentle when collecting pill bugs, handling could be stressful. Never take a blue or purple colored bug, they have a disease that may spread. Get more than 8 bugs. Get a good sized aquarium for pill bugs and fill with soil, small rocks, sticks and leaves. Provide an open food source of vegetables and fruit excess sprinkled around the case. Food must be abundant and easy to get. However, do even more research before getting pill bugs as pets.
