Common Pill Woodlouse (Armadillidium vulgare), taken March 21, 2025, in Georgia, US
She lost her pants!!! You can clearly see the difference between old and new exoskeleton on this individual, which is very cool! The new exoskeleton is still soft, evident by the iridescent sheen and rounded appearance of the segments. As the exoskeleton hardens, it will become darker and rougher, eventually looking identical to the old one, just a tad larger!
Nosy Pill Woodlice (Armadillidium nasatum), taken February 26, 2025, in Georgia, US
A nice pill bug family of four, living the life underneath a log I flipped. They didn't do much, but I suppose I too would be stiff with terror if a giant flipped my dark, unmoving house over and exposed me to the elements! I put them back after I was done, and they probably went right back to whatever conversation they were having before I interrupted them, so no harm no foul!
