Armadillidiidae
Protects like ball-shield if being touched - watch pics 3 and 4
Pill bugs are part of the family of Woodlice, group Isopoda.
True - Plus the colors and "pattern" doesn't match exactly
I think it's too big to be the common pillbug, but I'm not sure.
Yes, just narrowed it down.It doesn't seem to be the common one, does it?This one is more maron colored and the shield plates are edged brighter.
At least you got it narrowed down Lars. I've never seen one that big where I live.
ID'd
About 1.5 - 2 cm in diameter (as a pill) - and yes, I was assuming a sort of millipede as well...
How big was it?
Me? I'd say its a pill millepede of some sort. I don't have any guides for Europe though.
Dan! :) Any idea on this one?
