Thanks, Terry, and I'll definitley add a picture, but I may have an even better one I could add for you, or at least one that's a bit clearer when enlarged. (Believe it or not I have many - occupational hazard as I lecture about these and similar critters to Master Gardeners in my state - so I tend to take a lot of pictures for my slides).

I also have a great picture of its cousin the sow bug - very similar to rollypollies, but they can't roll up and they have uropods in back - I'll give a picture here, too, because rollypollies and sowbugs are often found together.

A cousin of the Rolly polly - the sow bug. Note the two appendages in the back (uropods) not found in rollypollies.
