name that bug!?
Okay – I call them potato bugs, but apparently I’m wrong. What’s the proper name for those little grey armadillo-like insects that curl up into balls when you poke them? You can find them just about anywhere in the midwest and northeast of the U.S.A., and I grew up calling them potato bugs and poking them. But I have no idea what they actually are called. My friend calls them “Roly-Polys,” if that’s any help.
What is the correct name for…?
What is the correct name for the little bugs that roll up into little balls? They remind me of Armadillos.
My garden seems to be infested with them this year. Will they damage my plants? Will a bug killer like Sevens work on them. If not what will?
If I knew what the correct name is for them I could look them up. Because “little Rollie Polie bugs”, as my daughters call them, doesn’t get me any useful information.
Any ideas?? Thanks
Can’t remember the name of cartoon?
There was a cartoon I watched when I was a child (in the 80′s), it involved a girl with magical powers from underground world that was dying. I think the world may have been turning into crystals or something. She had the help of several companions. The comic-relief animal-companions of group were these two yellow creature like armadillos with trumpet like noses that could role into balls.

I have heard that once an armadillo has been trapped it never falls for it again. Is it true?
We have tried moth balls and they don’t work. Not to mention I live in an area covered in pine trees and pine needles. That does not seem to bother the ones here in Bastrop, Texas.

rapid growth for flowers.?
i saw this stuff that is called rapid growth to make your flowers bloom faster. does it really work and how fast does it work. my impatiens have been going through a lot. something or someone killed majority of my impatiens they fell apart at the root of the plant the first day they drooped and lost their leaves. they got plenty of water. it seemed like a dog peed on it. but i do armadillos, rabbits and other animals crawling around here. i put moth balls to keep them out. but i am trying to bring back my impatiens. they didnt kill the root of the plant just what ever the plant had above ground was killed. i figured the rapid groowth can help boast them up.
