Pill bugs are tiny gray creatures with hard, bumpy shells. They are also called roly-polies because they roll up into a little ball when they are scared! Pill bugs have 14 legs and two little feelers on their head. They are not actually bugs at all – they are related to crabs and lobsters.
Pill bugs like to live in dark, damp places. You can find them under rocks, logs, and flower pots. They eat dead plants and rotting leaves. Pill bugs breathe through special parts on their belly that work like gills, so they need to stay moist.
