Explanation:

1. Pill bugs can roll into a tight ball when threatened, while sow - bugs cannot. This is a key difference in their self - protection mechanisms.
2. Isopods (which include pill bugs and sow bugs) need a moist environment to respire through their gill - like structures. Keeping the paper towel moist helps maintain the necessary humidity for their survival.
3. Pine bark may contain resins that can be harmful to isopods, and chemically treated mulch may have pesticides or other chemicals that can be toxic to them.
4. Suitable foods for isopods include leaf litter (such as oak leaves) and small pieces of fruit (like apple slices).
