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.
Does anyone know what type of bugs my daughters are finding? They are…?
about 1/4″ long and look like little armadillos. We live in the Northeast and these bugs seem to live underneath rocks. My daughters like to catch them for their bug jars, but I’d like to do some research to see what they eat to keep them alive. Does anyone know the name of these bugs? We’ve nicknamed them rolly-pollies, potato bugs and armadillo bugs.
Yes, they sometimes curl up into little balls when touched. Almost like that’s their defense-mechanism.
what bug is in my apt? in a basement unit in MN. they’re like little armadillos, the size of my fingernail
i’m in a basement unit in central MN, not especially close to anything except other apt buildings. and they are all over the walls, mostly by the windows. at least one a day. they have a little shell with plates- like an armadillo- lots of legs- about the size of my fingernail. how do i keep them out? what are they?
