Also grew up calling them potato bugs, northeast US?
Pacific Northwest for me! Potato bugs forever!

Potato bug is something else
?
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.
Is that a woodlouse?
For some unknown reason, these are known as a “cheese log” in parts of the UK
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.

This was asked many years ago on Reddit and after that I concluded that only British Columbians call these Wood Bugs.
Never heard of a Roly Poly or Pill bug before i saw that post.
Your all wrong, they are chuckipigs
Rolly Pollies
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
American from the Midwest here. We alternated between pillbug and roly poly.
Potato bugs.
In my part of Australia either wood slaters or rolypolies.
Slater bugs for kids in my part. If anyone wanted to know their ‘real name’ it was woodlouse.
Yes, My part also!
