The Florida roly poly, scientifically known as "Armadillidiidae," is a type of terrestrial isopod commonly found in Florida and other warm regions. Unlike true pill bugs, which can roll into a ball for protection, Florida roly polys are known for their flattened bodies and can often be found in moist habitats like leaf litter or under rocks. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aiding in the decomposition of organic matter. These creatures are often mistaken for insects but are actually crustaceans, related to shrimp and crabs.
