I know the difference between a sowbug and a pill bug. The picture above was to reference to my previous post as to what a rollie pollie is. A rollie pollie is what kids call it but it is also a pillbug. A sow bug is very similar but not the same. All in the isopod family. They look like insects but are more closely related to a crustacian and breathe through their gills.
