A slater bug, commonly known as a pill bug or roly-poly, is a terrestrial crustacean belonging to the order Isopoda. Unlike typical insects, slater bugs have a segmented body and can roll into a ball as a defense mechanism against predators. They are often found in moist environments, feeding on decaying plant material, and play a crucial role in decomposition and soil health. Despite their name, slater bugs are not true bugs but are more closely related to shrimp and crabs.
