		Armadillidium vulgare (Armadillidiidae) is common near houses, especially in gardens or greenhouses.
		Armadillidium, is strongly arched and the flattening is not striking.
		Armadillidium the second antennae fit neatly into broad recesses on the front of the head permitting them to be folded completely out of harm's way when the animal enrolls.

		Armadillidium vulgare (family Armadillidiidae) is common near houses, especially in gardens or greenhouses.
		In Armadillidium the second antennae fit neatly into broad recesses on the front of the head permitting them to be folded completely out of harm's way when the animal rolls up.
		In Armadillidium, however, the rami are short, presumably so they can be included within the sphere when the animal rolls up.

	Gordon's Woodlice Care Sheet
		Though the Woodlice will feed on the scraps that you put in they will also feed on their own faeces, this is quite natural, what they are actually eating is the fungi and bacteria that are living on the faeces.
		Some species mostly of the genera Armadillidium, commonly called Pill Bugs, are capable of rolling themselves up in a ball, this is a defence against desiccation as well as against predators such as shrews which find it much harder to bite a ball than an unrolled Woodlice.
		Armadillidium vulgare is also attacked by Phyto melanocephala while Trachelipus rathkei is attacked by Stevenia atramentaria.

		The complete amino acid sequence of a neuropeptide was established using gas-phase microsequencing, mass spectrometry, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
		This peptide, stored in the sinus gland of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare, inhibited vitellogenin synthesis by the fat tissue and inhibited the onset of secondary vitellogenesis when tested in homologous bioassays.

		They are Porcellio scaber, Armadillidium vulgare, Porcellio pruinosus and Eluma purpurascens.
		P.pruinosis does not have an obviously lobed head and the posterior portions of the dorsal plates are not hook shaped as in p.scaber.
		In the USA Armadillidium species are sometimes referred to as pill-bugs, non-rolling species may be referred to as sow-bugs.

		Isolation and molecular characterization of a hyperglycemic neuropeptide from the sinus gland of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare (Crustacea).
		The major peptide from the sinus gland of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare (Crustacea) has been extracted and purified by reverse-phase HPLC.
		This neuropeptide exhibited a high hyperglycemic activity and was therefore named A. vulgare crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (Arv-CHH).
