The roly-poly bug (aka pill bug, BB bug, and Armadillo bug) has seven pairs of legs for a total of 14 legs. It is classified as an isopod, a different type of arthropod than insects, which have six legs, or arachnids (e.g., Spiders) that have 8 legs. The roly poly can roll up into a tight ball with its exoskeleton providing armor to protect it from predation.

Yes, a rollie pollie, also known as a pill bug or woodlice, is considered a consumer. These organisms primarily feed on decaying organic matter, such as leaf litter, which classifies them as detritivores. By breaking down this material, they play a vital role in nutrient recycling within their ecosystem.
