Has anyone ever see a blue pill bug before?? First time for me. Bev kept finding them around her big ash street-tree today. I took one picture on her garden table before my battery died.

The cause of the blue coloring in pill bugs is a parasite that has taken up residence in the bug. It's named Thaumamermis cosgrovei after my father, whose last name was Cosgrove. He discovered the parasite after cutting open a blue pill bug which he had found at the San Diego Zoo.
