You must be referring to the Woodlouse Hunter which hunts… *checks notes …Granny Grunters.

I only ever called them woodlouses when I learned that name as a teenager because everyone here always called them “roly-polies.”

Roly polies does sound adorable, I’ll give you that

Do you mean the bean bug?
jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
No, I mean a sow bug.
ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 11 months ago
It’s called a roly-poly and I will tolerate no disagreement, good day to you
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They roly and they poly. No better names exist.

Re: your username: Is a Replicant Batty Coda just a normal Batty Coda? He’s already a cyborg with crappy/ intermittent reception.
ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 11 months ago
I had to look that up lol, I’ve never seen Fern Gully. The username is a reference to Roy Batty, the character from Blade Runner.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ahh, gotcha. It’s a good movie. Kinda sad looking back. Robin Williams played Batty Coda, so I remember the character fondly.

Roly-poly is correct, but I’ll also accept potato bug.

Potato bugs are Jerusalem crickets no?

No no Jerusalem crickets are Wavypills
