I found these under my plant stand. They kind of look like really skinny rollie pollies.

There are several similar bugs but the pill bug- roly/poly - rolly/pollies are one of the very few bugs that roll into a ball.
It does appear you have one of these but they are called 'nuisance' bugs' because they usually do no harm to people or plants.
They are sometimes called 'garbage bugs' because they feed on decaying matter in your yard and many people just leave them alone as they are usually considered 'helpful' to yard waste.
They can be a pest if found in your home but can be easily vacuumed away.
If several are found in your home then you may have some cracks around your doors, windows, AC units, etc that invites them in.
This is Armadillidiidae , better known as Pill Bug or Roly Poly (Polies). they are popular garden dwellers eating plant life and decay matter. They love moist damp areas. Here is a link to this insect - en.wikipedia.org/
Hi!
This looks like a pill bug! They are rolly-pollies! They are the only crustacean that has learned to live completely on land!
Have a blessed day!

This is differently a rolly-polly bug. We use to collect these as kids because they were so funny when you touched one of them it would roll up into a ball. My younger brothers would roll them into balls and then flick them with their fingers to see which one would roll the furthest. They are harmless bugs and you may have brought this one in your home if it was in a sack or in a pair of shoes you had outside.
