Critters in the Classroom: Insect Edition - Pillbugs


Often mistaken for beetles, these live terrestrial arthropods live their whole lives on land, feeding on decaying organic matter.  

When disturbed or threatened, pill bugs will roll up into a tight ball, earning them the nickname "rollie pollies."

Contrary to pill bugs, sow bugs can be identified by their tail-like appendages and will remain flat and still when threatened, unable to roll up into a ball.
