Armadillidium vulgare

Also commonly reffered to as the Common Pillbug, Sowbugs (even though this is an incorrect classification), Roly-Polies and even Wood Lice. They are members of the Isopods, not to be confused with an insect[1]. They belong to the family Armadillidiidae and are found almost everywhere and are soil/ground dwelling isopods. These isopods can easily be spotted, as they roll into a ball to protect themselves. Pillbugs can reach over 10,000 individuals per square meter which converts to 900 individuals per square foot[2].
