3. Sow bugs
or Basketball bugs. That's what we called them when I was a kid. I don't know where the Sow name comes from but when they roll into a ball that is obvious why we called them Basketball bugs.

11. Most pillbugs can roll up, sow bugs (wood lice) can't.
Other than that they look about the same when I encounter them in my yard. I call them "seedling cutters."
