for whatever it's worth--we call woodlice "roly-poly's" in the US. which now sounds silly typing out. jiggers are far scarier parasitic creatures.

Ah! I didn't know what either "jigger" or "woodlice" referred to until I read your comment. I actually always used to call them "pill bugs", although I'm not sure if that's something that others call or just a name I learned from my family.
