skypigs, Burquitlam, Queen E park
I heard before there is some regionalistic term for the pill bug, but I forgot it

This would be the first time I read the term 'skypigs' ; a quick search shows it's used by anti police activists in stead of 'Transit Police'. This term seems to refer to video games more by a factor of about 100 or so.
Wikipedia has 'wood bug' as a BC regionalism for the pill bug, but again, this is the first time I heard of it.
The Pine Beetle is a separate critter.
I added Burquitlam and made this list public.

I was bemused when my kids started calling them wood bugs. To me they were always wood louses. That is, wood lice.

Several of these are not BC specific. "Skookum," for example, was in locally common parlance where I grew up in the Chehalis river valley. It comes from the Chehalis people. There is a Skookumchuck River that flows the Chehalis.
