I wasn’t able to find an original, but I would assume it was either talking about the fact that they’re crustations and not bugs, or talking about the different regional names for them (roly poly, pill bug, potato bug, etc)

Pill millipedes (looks like Glomeris marginata) vs isopods (some Armadillidium species as it can roll up into a ball). Incredible case of convergent evolution

holy cow, I was today years old when I found out they weren’t the same family.
i thought both pictures, top/bottom, were an interesting factoid where they are crustaceans… you mean to tell me the top one is a millipede?! my life is a lie.
