Animal of the Day: Armadillidiidae!

Pill bugs! Rolly Pollys!

They turn purpley blue when sick, they can drink out of their anus, they eat their own poo sometimes, they are crustaceans. They roll up, like armadillos, when panicked. These are things I know off the top of my head but here are more things:

They are in a family of woodlice. They are sometimes kept with tarantulas to clean the cage since they eat mold and poo. They are beloved by children and considered pests by others.

Wow wikipedia didn't have much to say about armadillidiidae. but how fun is that to say? Armadillidiidae!
