I was watering my grass and saw tons of pill bugs streaming out of the grass. I touched one and he(or she) curled up into a ball. I wondered how he did it so I took him and took a piece off his abs and looked at it under the microscope. I saw that there were millions of little cells all wound together in a tight bundle. There were tendons all around so that they can contract on command.
