1. slater 2. pincher bug or European earwig ( we have our own native varieties ) Australia You're both from Australia and you call pillbugs either slaters or butcher boys. Interesting. Those are the weirdest two names on the whole thread.

Who knows what these insects are thinking when they see our big faces staring back at them

Those are the weirdest two names on the whole thread. As a youngster I was told by an older kid (my next-door neighbour) that they were called butcher/butchy boys, and I’ve been calling them that ever since. It must be a Melbourne thing. I found a discussion thread on it: www.essentialbaby.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/456484-slaters-being-called

When I think of a butcher I think of someone who slaughters animals. Is there another meaning for "butcher" in Australia?

Sorry to be pedantic but I called them "bugs" for a reason. The woodlouse is a crustacean, not an insect.
