Detailed explanation-1: -A roly poly eats rotting plants and are good for your garden because they assist in decomposition and help return nutrients for plants to the soil. They don’t bother living plants. Rolly polies are also good for the environment because they can get rid of heavy metal pollutants in the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rollie pollies might be a nuisance in the gardens, but did you know they can remove heavy metals from your soil? They are crustaceans rather than bugs and they eat cadmium, arsenic, and lead and redeposit it in the soil in a harmless form.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are crustaceans that have exoskeletons and hard shells. Unlike their lobster cousins, these critters can easily live on land. In order to survive, these crustaceans need a moist environment, some dirt or rocks under which to take shelter and, of course, something to eat.
