Rolly Pollies
American from the Midwest here. We alternated between pillbug and roly poly.
Rolly pollies
The only correct answer.
I don’t see potato bug yet
Potato bug is something else
Not a bug technically, an isopod.
People pay stupid money for rubber duckies:
If I had cash, I’d want a giant one:
I always called them Rollie pollies. My brother in laws earliest memory of me is me explaining how good they were to eat.
You’d want a giant one?
Giant isopods are found in the deep ocean, typically dwelling on the ocean floor up to 7,000 feet deep in regions like the Indo-Pacific and western Atlantic oceans.
Would they survive on sea level?

I assumed as much. So bro would have to have a pressurised chamber that’s also dark, so even if it was see-through, there’d really be no use.
Maintaining the tank would also be a bitch probably. Feeding, cleaning, etc. Feeding not so much but…
Anyway, doesn’t seem like the optimal solution as a pet or design choice, unless you’re like a billionaire, in which case you can do whatever the fuck you want (until we find another Luigi)
My ex collects this things. Apparently there a market for raising and selling them.
We keep some little orange isos in our reptile tanks to help with keeping the tank clean. I feel weird paying for fancy “potato bugs” but they apparently help, so here I am.
Springtails and isopods are good “clean up” crews. Usually reptiles, but you can also do cool bioactive set ups for rats.
Springtails are also not bugs and are hella under appreciated. They are absolutely adorable under a microscope, but you just can’t find great pictures online.
What the fuck
Is that a woodlouse?
Yep
Americans call them pillbugs or something like that
I only know “roly poly” that’s the grade a American word for these lil guys.
Pill bugs here on the West Coast but in the Midwest we called them roly poly.
I work in pest control and they’re generally referred to as pill bugs in the industry.
West coast- my friends all called them pill bugs, but we called them sow bugs.
Sow bugs def a common one
Pillbugs here in the Midwest.
I found out that they’re called “bed pissers” in the Netherlands and now I only call them that
Little pissybedders
For some unknown reason, these are known as a “cheese log” in parts of the UK
use to call these
use
Well, my voice, if I ever tried. I think a whistle would just be pointless. Do they even have ears? Can you call something without ears, no matter what you use? #l2s
Snacks!

Pugsley?
My three year old calls them “ah-peel”
Edit: I just showed him this post and he said “That my best friend owl-putty.” Progress.

Horror story! Little me heard that they breathe through gills and thinking they would be OK, I filled a soap bubble bottle with water and stuffed 'em in there. When I checked the next day they had disintegrated, nothing by tiny pieces left. I was horrified.
Lol. When I was 4 my pet parakeet died and my parents told me they buried it. My thinking was it probably died because they buried it so I dug it up and put it back in its cage. My Mom was horrified.
