It cannot move a piece the other player just moved, any piece that is part of a stack (including a piece with a Beetle on top, or a Beetle sitting on another piece), a piece whose removal would split the Hive, or a piece that would have to squeeze through a gap between stacked pieces. A Pillbug covered by a Beetle cannot use its own ability either.
