These creatures are also referred to as woodlice, armadillo bugs, and potato bugs, depending on where you live. They are known for their ability to roll into a tight ball when threatened, which gives them the nickname "roly-polies."

They are important decomposers in terrestrial ecosystems and play a vital role in breaking down organic matter.
