Pretty sure pill bug is not an "insect."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.114.26 (talk) 08:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article cites a source that says the term "roly-poly" has been used regionally as early as 1968.  Well, I can't cite a source (online or otherwise) but I used that term as a young child in Birmingham, Alabama certainly 5 years and probably 10-12 years before that.  (Birth date 23 Nov 1953 and I can recall using it for certain as a pre-teen and probably younger.)
I suspect, but cannot confirm, that I learned the term from my mother or father, which would tend to push the origin back further.
However, the animals to which we applied the term may well have been Pill millipedes rather than Pill bugs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikek999 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

message: How can a dictionary from 2002 inform us about the "increasing" popularity of colloquialisms in 2009?  (What I'd like to know is why there must be a double i in Armadillidiidae, and how to pronounce it.)  Unfree (talk) 14:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Are these small insects found world-wide?  If not, where?
PS:  I can definitely cite the term, "rolly poli" as in general use in central Kansas prior to 1960.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave of Maryland (talk • contribs) 14:45, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm too much of a rookie to fix it -- there's an extra "i" in the title of this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShenandoahJoe (talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

message: This page and the page for  Armadillidium vulgare both cite the same source regarding the amount of light pillbugs require, but this page says they need "lots of light" while the  Armadillidium vulgare page says they need "limited light".  How can one citation be used for opposing statements?  Fatbrett2 (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

message: The article talks about temporary removal of heavy metals. However, the source cited says no such thing. Rather, it mentions that they are a biological indicator. In other words, pillbugs can be inspected for heavy metal content to determine whether heavy metals are present in the environment where they live. I would suggest removing the discussion about them removing heavy metals, unless there is another source that backs up that assertion.
