Prenolepis imparis / Armadillidae sp.
1/8" long ants crawling over a small colony of pill bugs under a rock.
Semi rural.
The ants started dispersing as soon as I turned over the rock but appeared to be crawling over the pill bugs.

It is interesting to see the different names - in England we call them wood louse!
Interesting how you refer to those in the first photo as 'pill bugs' - here we call them Rolly Pollies (due to how they roll up in a ball when they feel threatened).
Thanks to Project Noah, we not only learn of different spottings all over, but also the different names used.
Thanks Luc! You will be amazed at how much life you can find under a rock!
Woooo !!!! I had never seen so much together ! It's scary ! hahahaa :) very nice find and pictures .
