Poly Ball
Can you help?
Can you help me find the name of this bug?
A verrryyy long time ago us little rugrats would find these small gray bugs in the ground and pick them up. When we did pick them up, they would curl into a ball, I guess to protect themselves, we called them Roly Poly's because of this!
They were tiny, gray, and had kind of lines on their back because when they weren't rolled in a ball, I guess they were rough or something. I can't really remember much about them.
Any links would be appreciated!
Woodlouse or Pillbug
But I still love calling them Roly Poly's, just for old times sake 
We used to have fake grass at our school when I was little and we'd pull up the grass and play with the Roly Poly's, and then we got in trouble....
But it was still fun
