They're known as sowbugs around here, and I'm from Michigan.

In Toronto, Ontario, you usually hear them called potato bugs but armadillo bugs isn't uncommon either.

Potato bugs, I guess. Never heard a bug called a roly poly.

I have always called em Rolu Poly or pill bug. Used to call em potato bugs until I saw what a real potato bug looks like.

xFlamenx · 07-8-2007, 01:54 PM

roly poly is the common nickname, which i was raised using, but the true name is woodlice

I picked up a tree branch while cleaning the yard and like ten rolly pollys fell on my head. So I ran in circles swatting my head saying get em' off me.

Boatz · 07-9-2007, 04:58 AM

In Britain that's definately a woodlouse. We have friggin' books written about them for pete's sake!

Engler · 07-9-2007, 07:29 AM
