Pill bugs are common backyard inhabitants around
the world. When disturbed the will roll into a ball
that looks like an old-fashioned pill. The Sow bug
is a close relative. The Sow bug is similar but flatter
and can't roll into a ball. The Pill bug is a Crustacean
just like Crabs and Lobsters. Like underwater animals
they breathe with gills instead of lungs. The gills are
located on the underside of the Pill bug and must be
kept moist, Which is why they are found in damp places.
