Olivia and I made a Pill Bug "trap" last week and it worked remarkably well.

Apparently, pill bugs love potatoes, so we hollowed out a potato, cut a small hole in one end and put the shell back together with a rubber band. We placed out by the wood pile and left it for a few days. Sure enough, when we opened it, there were 2 pill bugs and an earwig. |

Olivia was rather reluctant to touch them at first. |
