Rolly Pollies?

According to the dictionary: yes.

pill bug

n. In both senses also called slater, wood louse; also called regionally doodlebug.

1. A small terrestrial isopod crustacean of the genus Armadillidium closely related to the sow bug and having a convex, segmented, flexible body enabling it to curl into a ball when disturbed. In this sense also called roly-poly.

2. A sow bug.

Usage Note: Many people, especially science teachers, like to make a distinction between pill bugs and sow bugs.

According to this usage, a pill bug, or roly-poly, is a terrestrial isopod crustacean whose segmented body gives it the ability to curl up into a ball when disturbed. A sow bug is any of several similar looking creatures that lack this ability. In popular usage, however, the names pill bug and sow bug, along with a number of other popular names, are used to refer to any of these tiny segmented crustaceans that are often mistaken for insects.

And merely WHAT do you advise by ability of a "rolly polly"? A fat individual? A fat parrot? many of the responses previous to mine that advise finding under rocks and such call to ideas something like a sowbug (somewhat insect that I used to call a "ball-malicious program" while i became right into a newborn via fact it rolls up right into a ball while threatened). while you're in seek of for a fat individual, try the internet. There are courting web pages for each thing those days - even fat human beings and people who're in seek of for them. (try an internet seek on BBWs Personals.)

Yep same as pill bugs, but not even the same as one of the ugliest bugs on earth, called Potato Bugs, which are members of the cricket family...Take Care :)

Yep. They're not reptiles though. They are called:

Rolly-polies

Pill bugs

Wood lice

Sow bugs

They are so cute!

Hey, Yahoo! Answers should make a subject called ''Insects". Then you could put your question under there! :-)

Yes, they go by many names. See wikipedia-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pill_bug
