We called them "doodle bugs" when I lived in New Orleans, lol.

Thanks! I was going to say they resemble an armadillo and look at the genus name!

I'll close it out.

We call them rolly pollys here in the Alabama/Georgia/Florida area. I've also heard them called pill bugs. They roll up into a ball when disturbed.
