Pillbugs? - Armadillidium vulgare
Desoto, Dallas County, Texas, USA
June 16, 2009
Does this show mating behavior? There were many of these "couples" all over my Lamb's Ear plants in my garden after a couple of days of very heavy summer rains,so I know they were not congregating for moisture. They had moved from under the foliage to be on top of it to get away from the water.
