 * "Tell me, , have you ever turned a pill bug over and examined its repellant underside? The legs...so many of them...jerking...wiggling...writhing...Blech! Abhorrent! Wretched little monsters!"

In

 * "I'm sure you've had this happen: your pill bug won't roll up for some reason... ...and it's only later you discover it's a wood louse! ...No? Never happen to you? Very well, I'm mad."

In

 * "Indeed, when they're all rolled up in a ball, pill bugs seem harmless enough... But flip them over and... OH, THOSE LEGS! Absolutely repugnant. Thinking about how they wriggle and squirm has my feathers crawling! Foulness! Hold a moment. I do rather poorly with shiny, wriggly, wretched creatures like this one."

Upon donation to the museum, the Pill Bug can be found crawling in the first room of the Insect section. The exhibit has this to say about the Pill Bug:
 * "Pill bugs live in moist places, which is why you will commonly find them under rocks and in stumps. When they're touched, they roll into a ball. Oddly enough, they're part of the crustacean family. As such, and since they don't like dry places, they can travel for a short time underwater if need be."

In

 * "Blech, the pill bug! Children delight at the way these beasts roll into balls when poked... But the appeal is utterly lost on me. One look at their leggy undersides... Hoo! Ewww! How they wriggle! Young pill bugs shed their exo-skeletons as they grow, and in doing so, sprout another pair of legs. As if 12 appendages weren't alarming enough! Yuck, I say. Yuck! "

The pill bug can be found in the leftmost display case in the laboratory section of the bug exhibit, along with the Moth and Centipede

Real-world information
Pill Bugs, Armadillidium Vulgare, are from a genus of crustaceans that have been known to exist for at least 300 million years. Many members of the genus exist as marine crustaceans, but some have developed to live on the land while retaining their water-dependent lifestyle. Pill bugs can lay several hundred eggs at one time.

Their characteristic defense mechanism, which involves rolling into a protective ball, is copied in-game. The pill bug rolls into a ball when a player approaches it, making the insect much easier to catch than other ground-dwelling insects.
