    Help me identify this bug!

    Can anyone identify the bug pictured underneath? Thanks.

    Looks like a pill bug.

    Ok, weird where I found it, as it appears to feed on dead plant matter. I've found a few of them near my front door, and in my fiancee's closet. Hmmm...I should investigate this farther with the purchase of a new macro lens....

    It's a wood louse. Very common and are found in damp places.
