Sow bugs are my favorite “insects,” mainly because they are not insects. They are actually crustaceans, like lobster and shrimp. Here’s what they look like, just in case you don’t know what a sow bug is.
Sow bug is the name I learned, but Mr. Amato, my science teacher, says there lots of other names for the same non-insect: roly-poly, pill bug, woodlouse, etc. If you have other names or know something really interesting about them, please comment below.
I did a report on sow bugs. Here it is.
Wanna join the conversation? Leave a comment!
Psst! If you are under 13, please help me not get in trouble with the internet police and make sure your parent signs up for you. Thanks!
rollie pollies here
Rolly Pollies!!!
We here in V.A. we call them rollie-poiies!
I mean Rollie- Pollies! Ups!
rollers!
I know I’m not related to your science teacher or anything but MY last name is Amato too…so when i saw it I was like WHAT!!! And maybe your science teacher can relate to this (Maybe you could ask him for me) Lots of people spell Amato wrong even the computer i wonder if he has the same problem?
I asked, and Mr. Amato said no one EVER misspells his name because he is so well-known in our town! He is a big kidder.
That’s awesome he sounds like a REALLY stupendous teacher!!!:D
my bff calls them rolly polly ollys u know from the show she thinks there awsame i do to her name is abby.p
woodbugs!
Isn’t it cool how many different names there are for the same “bug.” (I mean crustacean!)
ok..look ronald cheesie whatever.
First, I do not care AT ALL that you don’t believe “I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER” is my name.
Second, Hi! Nice to meet you!! I’m Selena Bradford, and imma be on a commercial.
Third, my teacher Mrs.Smith is plain ANNOYING. You’re lucky you think Mr. Ama-whatever is cool.
Fourth, i don’t think little 11-10 year olds like you understand much of society. They just wanna do good at school.
Fifth, thank you for reading my comment.
Sincerely,
Selena-Future Moviestar
Dear “fine its not my name whatever”
You sound like you have lots of energy and self-cnfidence I bet you do end up being a moviestar. Maybe someone will make a Cheesie Mack film, and you’ll be in it.
Dear Cheese lover,
Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO have a lotta energy. I wore bright pink lipstick today at school and i had ppl SWOON over me!!! im TOTALLY moviestar-worthy. I dont know if I’ll be in a *Cheesie Mack* movie though. Considering how we can’t get along.Yeah. Whatever. Now im just scared of bringing my science grade home two weeks from now, cuz its a D. woo-pee!!!! hurray for me!!!
-Selena (OBVIOUSLY justin biebers future wife)
So, your name is Selena…and will someday be Selena Bieber! Did you know there is a tiny town in N. California named Bieber?
interesting!! i never knew tht……….well, u do learn something new everyday. ill totally search tht on google, the bieber city. my whole school is now to know tht there is a northern cali city named bieber!! oh and did u know i live in southern cali? i live in san diego. haha!! lol. i wish i lived in la, a EVEN more famous city, but san diego is famous enuf….i guess its ok for a future moviestar to live there.
You are crazzy!
cool! I have TONS of those bugs in my back yard, but I call them rollie-pollies
I forgot they are also called armadill bug.
Some other names for sow bugs are… isopods,roly polys, pillbug andbutcher boys.
pea bugs because they role up to the size of a pea and shield bugs
I have never heard “pea bugs.” Maybe it’s a version of “pill bug.” But I have heard of “slaters.” Thanks.
at my place the sow bugs are called
slaiters.
I call Sow bugs “Ball bugs” because they look like balls when they are rolled up. They are in my top 5 favorite bugs. My favorite bugs are spiders. What is your favorite bug.
“Ball bugs” is a really good name.
Like I wrote at the top of this page: Sow bugs are my favorite “insects,” mainly because they are not insects.
And spiders aren’t insects either. They’re arachnids.
hey look!! we have the same period science!! cool!! except i dont know who u are. and is this is a blog?
• First, I do not believe that your name is “I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER.”
• Second, I am Ronald Mack. This is not a blog. This is just my website that lots of kids comment on.
• Third, I bet there are millions of kids who have 3rd period science, so I don’t think that makes me or you particularly special. But Mr. Amato is very cool. I am going to write about him in Book #3.
• Fourth, thanks for reading my book.

awesome. i like pill bugs too.
This year my class worked with beetles and ISOPODS,so I got more comfortable with bugs.and what does imo mean?
IMO = in my opinion
Did you know that a certaint speices of isopod (sow-bug) that lives underwater will eat a fish’s tongue then attach it’s self to the fish and act as a tongue? Check it out at: http://www.treehugger.com/tongue-eating-parasite.jpg
OMG! That is the weirdest, most interesting animal thingie I have seen in my whole life! Thank you, Max! Wow! Everybody should read about this creature: http://bit.ly/wk19x
My mom told me that once I swallowed a sow bug before.The day she told me I couldn’t stop thinking about it!
You’re lucky you don’t really remember it!
My dad said that we call them potato bugs because they were originally found in potatoes. I don’t know if this is true or not.
I don’t know if that’s true either, but here’s what I call potato bugs.

They’re disgusting.
We call sow bugs gong-ballay in Korea.
I think gong-ballay is neat-sounding!
