Pill Bugs, also known as Sow Bugs, are the only crustaceans that have
adapted to living their entire lives - as long as two years for adults
- on land. Pill Bugs produce one to three generations per year, with
females birthing from 24 to 28 young per brood.
Primarily nocturnal in nature, Pill Bugs feed on decaying vegetable
matter and prefer moist environments under objects on damp ground and
in basements. Pill Bugs will grow up to 3/4 inch long and their thorax
is made up of seven hard, overlapping plates with seven pairs of legs.
Only Pill Bugs are capable of rolling up into a ball.
