Ground Invertebrates

You might encounter a wide variety of invertebrates in your pitfall trap, not all of which will be insects. This project will capture the invertebrates that cannot fly or jump to escape, which may include spiders, mites and harvestmen, centipedes and millipedes, silverfish, ants, worms and springtails, and a few special species described below.

WOODLOUSE (ONISCIDEA)

Often called the roly-poly or pill bug for their common defense of rolling up into a ball to defend against predators, the woodlouse is one of the most familiar and beloved of our backyard invertebrates. Woodlice are not insects, however; they are isopods, which are crustaceans, and more closely related to crabs and shrimp than other invertebrates in most peoples’ backyards.
