    Name that bug!

    So after getting into a debate on calling this particular bug a roly-poly or a potato bug, nickadeemus and I decided to look it up and settle it once and for all. Our discovery shocked us. We found that there are a large number of names for this cute little insect, including "cheeselog." We now come to the diversly cultured FFR folks with a poll. What do you call these critters:



    Feel free to post where you are from and what they are commonly known as in your area.

    I'm from Kansas and we call it a roly-poly. Nick is from Washington where it's known as a potato bug.

      Re: Name that bug!

      Well I'm from California and I've heard it called "rolly-poly" and "pillar bug".

      Edit: Pillar bug could be some other insect. :\ Not sure. I've heard it called pillar bug for some reason.

                      We don't have them in Alberta but seeing as I moderate the cheese content on this site (Unofficially, don't blow your top) I am obligated to choose "Cheeselog"

                              According to Wikipedia woodlice is their proper name. Searching roly-poly or potato bug led us there.

                                      Wow, they are extremely over populated here.

                                      Rolly polly or w/e here, I've heard it called wood lice though.

                                      Instead of taking her out to a movie and buying her popcorn, bend her over the arm of a couch. It's very economical. Just make sure you are using the proper protection, because then it can become VERY, VERY GOD DAMN UNECONOMICAL if she pops a baby 9 months down the road.

                                          I call them doodlebugs, though I've also heard them called sowbugs (not by many, though).
