Armadillidiidae

A Poem by Jane E. Ries

"

Who am I? I’m flat as a pancake and round as a pill? A pill bug. 

Who am I? I chiggy-wig here and chiggy-wig there. I’m a chiggy-wig. 

Who am I? I’m no potato pest. A potato bug. 

Who am I? A soft round metal pellet? A BB Bug. 

Who am I? Curled-up, balled-up, rolling away to safety. A roly poly. 

Who am I? Smaller than an armadillo’s tooth. An armadillo bug. 

Who am I? I’m a garden creature not a hair bug. A wood lice. 

Who am I? A crab, a lobster, a crayfish, a shrimp, a krill, a barnacle? No, but they are my family. 

Who am I? A gentle armadillidiidae that lives under stones, wood and leaves.
