Hi

That looks like a mobile suitcase. So far as I know, it doesn't have to look like an insect

But that one does.
And it is called a Rolly Trolley Bee.

Perhaps the original poster will supply some more context.

Thanks for the link, Clive. It is a child's high-tech school bag or rucksack with a bee design. The product is German-made and named, and I suspect that the name 'rolly-trolley' was coined as much for the mellifluousness of the name as its basic implication of 'rolling trolley'. 'Rolly-trolley' does not refer in any way to bees or insects.

There are some (land-dwelling) isopod crustaceans that are called roly-polys, potato bugs, or pillbugs colloquially. I suspect you misheard roly-poly.
