Pill bugs in the family Armadillidiidae are able to form their bodies into a ball shape, in a process known as conglobation.Conglobation has evolved independently in several families; this behaviour is shared with pill millipedes (which are often confused with pill bugs), [8] armadillos, cuckoo wasps, and some extinct trilobites.

Additionally, pill bugs have a thorax consisting of 7 body segments, 5 abdominal segments, and a pleotelson, while Glomeris millipedes lack a visually defined thorax and have 12 body segments total. While the uropods of pillbugs are relatively quite small, flipping a pill bug over will reveal the small uropod overlapping the pleotelson. [ 40 ]
