I think woodlouse and i remember them from grade 9 science school on afield trip.
Harmless and edible you generally eat them when sleeping and snoring. Good luck to you sir.

That's his cousin, the pill bug.

Identical looking, but one can ball up and the other can't.

I've never noticed before, but we have a shitload of them around this year.

They are crustaceans so there is a chance that they taste like lobsters.
