Woodlouse (specifically a Pill Bug or Sowbug)

Moist areas such as leaf litter, under rocks, logs, and humid garden environments; occasionally found indoors in damp basements.

Decomposing organic matter, fallen leaves, decaying wood, and sometimes young plant roots.

Nocturnal; they require moisture to breathe through gill-like structures. When threatened, pill bug species can roll into a tight ball (conglobation).

Harmless to humans; beneficial to the ecosystem as decomposers that recycle nutrients back into the soil and concentrate heavy metals out of the earth.
