Description: Photographs of roly-poly, Armadillium vulgare, description, life history and habits.
Compiled by Whitney Cranshaw, Colorado State University: Identification and Descriptive Features: The pillbug body is covered with a series of prominent plates, giving it an appearance of an armored vehicle. General color is blue-gray and some yellow spotting is often prominent. They have seven pairs of legs, each of approximately equal size and form. The segments of the relatively small abdomen are more or less fused and a pair of terminal appendages, the uropods, project from the tip. Two pair of antennae appear on the head but one is much longer than the other, and the shorter pair projects below the body. Their vision is minimal as they possess only a few simple ocelli that detect light.
