How many doodlebugs are there?

I thought that was the American term for a woodlouse et al..

As an American, the only things I've heard a woodlouse called is a "rolly-polly," "pill bug," or "potato bug." The bug in question here looks like what I've heard called Junebugs. They usually only appear about this time of year and are gone by the 4th of July.
