Common Pill Bug

Damp environments such as leaf litter, under rocks, logs, or in mulch where high moisture levels exist.

Mostly detritivores, feeding on decaying plant matter, algae, and occasionally young plants or fungi.

Nocturnal crustaceans that roll into a ball (conglobation) when threatened; they breathe through gill-like structures and must remain moist to survive.

Generally harmless to humans; they benefit the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients into the soil.
