		Sow bugs belong to the large category of animals that have jointed legs, the Arthropods.

	Woodlouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A woodlouse, also known as a pill bug (genus Armadillidium only), armadillo bug, sow bug, slater, ball bug, potato bug, doodlebug, chuggy pig or roley-poley/roly-poly, is a terrestrial crustacean with a rigid, segmented, calcareous exoskeleton and fourteen jointed limbs.
		They are usually nocturnal and are detritivores, feeding mostly on dead plant matter, although they can be a destructive pest in the garden.
		For example, in the south, they are almost always called "roley-poleys." In the northeast and western states, they tend to be called "pillbugs." Other names may be used in other regions.

		This is not surprising considering the habitat we found the bugs in (the underside of a log) and the habitat the bugs prefer in their storage container (the bottom of the paper towel).

	What is an Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

		The null hypothesis is that the sow bug’s speed cannot be calculated because it is not a constant speed.
		To figure out the speed of the sow bug, the bug was placed on a grooved ruler with a sheet of clear plastic over the top to prevent the bugs escape.
