Common Name: Sowbugs, Pillbugs
Scientific Name: Varies
Order: Isopoda
Description: Adults grow to about 3/8 inch long, have a number of rounded body segments and seven pairs of legs. Sowbugs possess a pair of tail-like structures on the back end of the body. Pillbugs do not have these structures and are capable of rolling into a tight ball when disturbed, a behavior that resulted in their common name, "roly-polies."
Isopoda (sowbugs and pillbugs) are terrestrial crustaceans, and are more closely related to lobsters, shrimp and crayfish. They even have gills.
Pillbugs (or Roly Polies) are common backyard inhabitants around the world.
They are called Pillbugs because they can roll into a ball (like an old-fashioned pill) when they are disturbed.
These animals are actually crustaceans, like crabs or lobsters, and just like these underwater crustaceans, they breathe through gills instead of lungs.
The gills, located on the underside of the Pillbug, must be kept slightly moist -- that's why you usually find these animals in damp places.
Look For: Gray, rounded, oval body with shrimp-like body plates; seven pairs of legs. Rolls into a ball when threatened.
Length: 3/8" to 1/2"
Habitat: Under rocks, logs
Life Cycle:
Females lay eggs that they carry in a pouch underneath the body. Eggs hatch into young pillbugs that resemble adults but are smaller. They remain in the pouch up to 2 months after hatching.
Development to adults occurs in about a year and they breed mainly in the spring.
They may live up to 3 years. Up to three broods may be produced annually.
Habitat, Food Source(s), Damage:
Mouthparts are for chewing and rasping. Pillbugs spend bright daylight hours in damp dark habitats such as underneath stones, logs, leaf litter, and other debris.
At night they venture out and feed on decomposing organic material, including mulch and grass clippings. They will feed on the tender foliage, stems and roots of young garden vegetable transplants, seedlings and bedding plants. They also rasp the outer skin of cucumbers laying on the ground in gardens, causing fruit to be deformed and blemished.
Pest Status:
Mainly a nuisance, particularly when they venture indoors; capable of feeding on tender plant tissue and occasionally causing considerable damage to garden transplants and seedlings; medically harmless.
