Woodlice aren't actually insects, but terrestrial crustaceans. Their ability to roll into a ball when disturbed has given the common name of 'pill bug'. I waited 10 minutes for this stubborn little bastard to unroll himself but he was so committed to his defensive strategy that I eventually gave up. Instead I found this, possibly the greatest Youtube clip ever. Play it with sound.Thursday, June 24, 2010
