Most pieces in Hive can only move by sliding. The ant next to your pill bug is mostly surrounded, and therefore cannot slide out of its position.

For a further explanation, see https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 86&t=12451

The pillbug cannot move the ant because of the two beetles on top of the hive. The ant cannot slide between the two beetles. It is called a "beetle gate".
