These are common creatures which seem to have hundreds of different regional names. What do you call these two different bugs where you live? And please give the area of North America, Europe or wherever in the world you live. Bug #1  Bug #2  |

Hmm. I know I've seen bugs like these before, but I honestly can't remember the last time. And I don't know what they're called here. I'm in Minnesota. I mostly just notice a lot of ants and spiders.

And please give the area of North America, Europe or wherever in the world you live. Bug #1 Bug #2 1: Woodlouse 2: Earwig 1: Interesting. My family came from farm country so I always called them sowbugs, relating to sowing crops. Most people in California call them pillbugs or even "roly polies". 2. I know the correct term for them is earwigs. But people here always call them "pinchers" or "pincher bugs".

Hit them with a leaf blower; just like "The Wizard of Oz"

Here in NJ, #1 is a pillbug.
#2 is an earwig.
While #1 is known as a relatively innocuous little bug that scuttles under rocks and leaves, #2 is legendary as the subject of perhaps the creepiest episode ever of the old TV series Night Gallery, "The Caterpillar."

When I was three or four years old I loved those things. I had a little toy lunch pail where I collected them in the backyard. You should have heard my mother scream when she opened it.

Ewww. Folklore is that earwigs crawl in people's ears while they're sleeping. Luckily, that's just a myth.

I say no matter what these critters are called
IMPO - I think both are ferociously handsome
but of course that's just me I really like all animals and insects here   .
Thanks so much gameboy for this most intriguing and fun subject post here too  .
