Antique engraved illustration of the pill bug. Vintage illustration of the roly poly. Old engraved picture of the woodlice. Picture of the roly poly. Book illustration published 1907. Armadillidiidae is a family of woodlice, a terrestrial crustacean group in the order Isopoda.

This ability gives woodlice in this family their common names of pill bugs or roly polies. Other common names include slaters, potato bugs, doodle bugs and cheeselogs. Most species are native to the Mediterranean Basin, while a few species have wider European distributions. The best-known species, Armadillidium vulgare, was introduced to New England in the early 19th century and has become widespread throughout North America
