Pillbug (roly-poly)

Moist, sheltered places such as under logs, stones, leaf litter, and garden debris.

Feeds mainly on decaying plant material and fungi; occasionally consumes tender living plants.

A terrestrial crustacean, not an insect, that is active in damp conditions and rolls into a ball when disturbed. Females carry developing young in a brood pouch.

Harmless to people and pets; helps break down dead plant matter and recycle nutrients. Large numbers may nibble seedlings or soft garden plants.
