The order Oniscidea contains various species of the woodlouse, also known as a doodlebug, pill bug, or sow bug. Some, notably the genus Armadillidium, can roll up into a ball if threatened.

Some common European species are Porcellio scaber (rough woodlouse) and Oniscus asellus (common woodlouse). One found in the southern US is Armadillidium vulgare (pill woodlouse).
