The genus Armadillidium, also known as the roly-poly or true pill bug, will form a characteristic ball when scared or threatened. There are dozens of species that primarily occur throughout the Mediterranean, Europe, the Americas and temperate zones. The smooth domed exterior will vary in color based on the species, but will usually come in shades of light gray to dark gray with additional accenting colors. Armadillidum maculatum and klugii are two of the most popular and vibrantly colored species in cultivation. These small to medium sized isopods will grow to be ½”+ in length and will reproduce at a slow to moderate level once established in your setup. Some species like A. granulatum, A. maculatum, and A. vulgare will grow even larger and exceed ½” in length.
