Summary[edit] DescriptionAPI Pill millipede - Roll into Ball when it got disturbed. This unidentified species is a member of the genus Arthrosphaera (order Sphaerotheriida‎, family Arthrosphaeridae). Pill millipedes make up two orders of millipedes, often grouped together into a single superorder, Oniscomorpha. The name Oniscomorpha refers to the resemblance of pill millipedes to certain woodlice, namely the pillbugs of the family Armadillidiidae, also called "potato bugs", or "roly-polies". However, they are only distantly related.
