Glomeris marginata is a European species of pill millipede in the family Glomeridae. Like other species in this family, this millipede is short and stout, rounded in cross section, and can roll into a ball when disturbed. This millipede is often confused with the pill woodlouse Armadillidium, which is also capable of rolling into a ball (volvation).
