Third time I find this whole lint rolling on my room floor. Dead every time. What is it?

Rest assure, not bed bugs! The long name for this insect is Armadillidiidae- better known for a short name is Rollie Polies, Pill Bugs, and slaters. Here is more info on this insect - en.wikipedia.org/
It looks like a pill bug. Harmless. Vacuum up and dispose. They come in from outside so be sure to get rid of debris around the windows and doors (like dead leaves) and seal up cracks in the foundation.
It looks too big and not the right color or shape to be a bed bug.
If you have found them curled up in a ball and rolling around on your floor they are not bed bugs for sure. They are a rolly polly bug or that is what we called them when we were small. They run around in the garden and when you go to trap one of them they roll up into a ball to protect themselves.
Some kids love to capture these and treat them as a pet but I'm sure you just want to eliminate them.
Pill bugs (rolly pollies) vacuum to remove any you see and then try to caulk/seal any areas around windows, doors, AC and clean any debris from around the outside walls.
