If we had gagaball when I was a kid, I wouldn’t have spent every recess playing with rollypollies.
Is that cavetown as in the singer?
We’re in the deep cuts here but I love this cover/remix of one of their songs by Mounika, enjoy.

Sow bugs, but some kids called them rolly-polleys. I taught my daughter both (as well as wood louse), but as you can imagine, she went with the fun one.
Growing up in Dorset, UK we always called them “Chiggy-wigs”
Hey, I’m from Dorset too. I’ve never heard Chiggy wigs before. I wonder if it’s a very regional or age thing. We called them wood lice.
Hello! I grew up on Portland, so perhaps it is very regional. I think we used the term specifically for the large black kind that roll up, the other brown/grey ones that don’t we called Wood Lice too!
Oh I don’t think I’ve seen the large black ones before. I grew up in Poole. Perhaps the black ones are less common here.
Haven’t seen anybody say armadillo bug yet.
Words.

Bicho bola in spanish
Woodlouse or woodlice.
Some people in the uk call them cheeselogs

There’s a bunch of colors. You can buy them at reptile shows. For a moer natural substrate, they eat feces and dried skin from our snakes.
We give them left over veggies and some grass too. We even have one aquarium that only has them in it.
Isopods are good bug pets. They don’t climb, well, they don’t jump, and they don’t stink.
I called them the cute roaches
