Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Pill bugs roll into a ball for more reasons than to protect themselves! They may also be conserving water, thermoregulating, or it may all be up to individual boldness. My research investigated whether soil moisture would affect the amount of time it took for pill bugs to unroll. I found that there was no correlation between sex, length, soil moisture, and the amount of time they spent rolled up. However, there was a great variation among individuals.
