Pill-bug
Armadillidium vulgare
37.1041, -7.96419
Field Notes
Description:
May reach a length of 18 millimetres (0.71 in), and is capable of rolling into a ball when disturbed; this ability, along with its general appearance, gives it the name pill-bug and also creates the potential for confusion with pill millipedes such as Glomeris marginata. It can be distinguished from Armadillidium nasatum and Armadillidium depressum by the gap that they leave when rolling into a ball; A. vulgare does not leave such a gap.
