    Hey, I’m from Dorset too. I’ve never heard Chiggy wigs before. I wonder if it’s a very regional or age thing. We called them wood lice.

      Hello! I grew up on Portland, so perhaps it is very regional. I think we used the term specifically for the large black kind that roll up, the other brown/grey ones that don’t we called Wood Lice too!

        Oh I don’t think I’ve seen the large black ones before. I grew up in Poole. Perhaps the black ones are less common here.
