  German is not quite correct. We say “Kellerassel”.
  Keller -> Celler
  Assel -> Isopod

  Did the Dutch confuse them for dandelions?

    There is some etymological debate on the subject. Some sources say they were ground to a paste and administered for diuretic effect, the same as the flower.

    However it’s not a common bit of knowledge or myth, so some etymologists say that the weird has formed in Dutch separately to French.

      I know some fancy restaurants have served them as miniature backyard shrimp.

  I love these Lil dudes. I have some in the basement and I feel bad to see them scurry around to find darkness whenever a light is turned on. They are my spirit animal.

  They were Potato Bugs or Ball Bugs for me as a kid, until I heard Roly-poly from a kid at summer camp.

    The theory that children get to name these things makes sense.

  I’ve lived in a few places around the UK and I have never, ever heard of a “cheesy bug”.
