Animal with a Segmented Body

Captured at my front yard
This is a delightful little pill bug, which is also called a roly poly by many children. This pill bug is a bug with a segmented body. An animal with a segmented body means an animal, also called an anthropods, have a body divided into segments that have functions. These sections of an anthropod's body is called the head, thorax, and abdomen. This pill bug is a great example of an anthropod because it can roll up into a ball.
