A non-threatening appearance makes the Common Potato Bug (Armadillidium vulgare) a good choice as a pet. They belong to the family Armadillidiidae and native to drier coastal areas in Europe. They usually are oval-shaped with the dorsal plane moderately flattened and go by other names such as Common Pill Woodlouse, Roly-poly, Common Pill-bug, Carpenter, DoodleBug, and Slater.

What did you call them as a kid? Pill bug? Roly poly? Armadillidiidae is a family of woodlice, a terrestrial crustacean group in the order Isopoda. Unlike members of other woodlouse families, members of this family can roll into a ball, an ability they share with the outwardly similar but unrelated pill millipedes and other animals. Their common names: pill bugs, roly polies, or doodle bugs. The best known species in the family is Armadillidium vulgare, the common pill bug.

Pill millipedes are any members of two living (and one extinct) orders of millipedes, often grouped together into a single superorder, Oniscomorpha. The name Oniscomorpha refers to the millipedes' resemblance to certain woodlice (Oniscidea), also called pillbugs or "roly-polies". However, millipedes and woodlice are not closely related (belonging to the subphyla Myriapoda and Crustacea, respectively); rather, this is a case of convergent evolution.
