Potato Bug

Thanks Michael! Ive always loved how friendly they are :)

Yeah, I suppose semantics can differ geographically (even across Canada!). What we call "potato bugs" are certainly different in Alberta (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/...), and I learned Armadillidium vulgare as a "pill bug".

But you're right - I looked it up - Armadillidium vulgare is sometimes referred to as a "potato bug", and the common name is irrelevant as long as the Scientific name is correct! Cute spotting, though! ;)

They have many different names that people call them, i call em' potato bugs and i have the scientific name in the scientific name section :)

I think you meant "Pill-bug"? :P
