Pill Bugs
Armadillidiidae is a family of woodlice, terrestrial crustacean group in the order Isopoda . Unlike members of other woodlouse families, members of this family can roll into a ball, an ability they share with the outwardly similar but unrelated pill millipedes and other animals. It is this ability which gives woodlice in this family their common names of Pill Bugs , Roly Polies , or Doodle Bugs. The best known species in the family is Armadillidium vulgare, the common Pill Bug. They have 7 pairs of legs. Commonly found in your garden.
Pill Bugs and Sow Bugs are similar-looking pests which are more closely akin to shrimp and crayfish than to insects. They are the only crustaceans that have adapted to living their entire life on land. Pill Bugs and Sow Bugs live in moist environments outdoors but occasionally end up in buildings. Although they sometimes enter in large numbers, they do not bite, sting, or transmit diseases, nor do they infest food, clothing or wood. They are simply a nuisance by their presence.
