Pill Bugs



We call these pill bugs... we are not sure what they are really called, but we love them! When we see them, we HAVE to touch them!! They are about the size of an eraser head. I was able to get a pretty good closeup and then the progress of him opening up again.

  3. I know, but they do refer to them as pill bugs- so you knew his slang name :-)
