Insect?

"These insects commonly feed on decaying vegetation and are found under logs, garbage pails or any other place where moisture can be found."

Pretty sure pill bug is not an "insect." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.114.26 (talk) 08:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

   > Changed "these insects" to "pill bugs".

They're not. JIMp_talk·cont 17:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pillbugs are crustaceans. 75.151.84.17 (talk) 16:11, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sue bug

This article talks about Pill bugs, but not Sue bugs. 76.183.213.20 20:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Roly-poly

This article cites a source that says the term "roly-poly" has been used regionally as early as 1968. Well, I can't cite a source (online or otherwise) but I used that term as a young child in Birmingham, Alabama certainly 5 years and probably 10-12 years before that. (Birth date 23 Nov 1953 and I can recall using it for certain as a pre-teen and probably younger.)

I suspect, but cannot confirm, that I learned the term from my mother or father, which would tend to push the origin back further.

However, the animals to which we applied the term may well have been Pill millipedes rather than Pill bugs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikek999 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

term roly poly

Thanks for this article! Growing up in Oklahoma (I was born in '65) I never heard any term other than "roly poly" used for these critters. It was the only term used by my parents and grandparents. I was so surprised as an adult living on the Atlantic seaboard to hear people call them pill bugs, doodle bugs and potato bugs, or "wood lice" when we were in England. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Urthcreature (talk • contribs) 18:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pillbug predator

I don't know a lot about these creatures, but the statement, "These pill bugs have no specialized predators, ..." may need revision and a link to the Woodlouse spider article. Softrider65 (talk) 04:03, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
