Sow bug (Philoscia sp.)

These are abundantly common little critters, so common, we barely pay attention to them. They are actually in the same Class as crustaceans such as shrimp and crayfish, though in a separate order, the Isopods. Some call these guys woodlice, but I've always known them as sow bugs. This was trundling down the wall of the Interpretive Centre.
