Roly-poly is a very generic n
Roly-poly is a very generic name for anything that can roll up into a ball, but most people mean wood lice or pill bugs when they say "roly-poly." Millipedes are different. Pill-bugs aren't really bugs at all; they're actually a kind of crustacean, and much more closely related to crabs and lobsters than they are to millipedes. If you want to see the differences for yourself, you can click here to learn more.
