The pill bug, also known as Armadillidiidae, got its name due to its ability to roll into a ball when threatened, resembling a tiny armadillo. This defensive behavior mimics the posture of armadillos, which also curl up for protection. The term "pill" reflects this rolling action, making it distinctive among other isopods.
