Rolly pollies
The only correct answer.
Rolly Pollies
American from the Midwest here. We alternated between pillbug and roly poly.
I don’t see potato bug yet
?
Potato bug is something else
Not a bug technically, an isopod.
People pay stupid money for rubber duckies:
If I had cash, I’d want a giant one:
I always called them Rollie pollies. My brother in laws earliest memory of me is me explaining how good they were to eat.
You’d want a giant one?
Giant isopods are found in the deep ocean, typically dwelling on the ocean floor up to 7,000 feet deep in regions like the Indo-Pacific and western Atlantic oceans.
Would they survive on sea level?
No
I assumed as much. So bro would have to have a pressurised chamber that’s also dark, so even if it was see-through, there’d really be no use.
Maintaining the tank would also be a bitch probably. Feeding, cleaning, etc. Feeding not so much but…
Anyway, doesn’t seem like the optimal solution as a pet or design choice, unless you’re like a billionaire, in which case you can do whatever the fuck you want (until we find another Luigi)
They likely go blob-isopod too.
My ex collects this things. Apparently there a market for raising and selling them.
Springtails and isopods are good “clean up” crews. Usually reptiles, but you can also do cool bioactive set ups for rats.
Springtails are also not bugs and are hella under appreciated. They are absolutely adorable under a microscope, but you just can’t find great pictures online.
What the fuck
Is that a woodlouse?
Yep
Americans call them pillbugs or something like that
For some unknown reason, these are known as a “cheese log” in parts of the UK
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

This xkcd is so good!
My three year old calls them “ah-peel”
Edit: I just showed him this post and he said “That my best friend owl-putty.” Progress.
Woodlice

He’s a lil’ isopod!
Slater.
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.
