A kind of pill bug: http://whatsthatbug.com/Pill.html -sw Good find Steve! I used to play with pill bugs as a child and I've never seen those before. :-) I pretty much leave pill bugs alone as they make good composters. Wonder what lawn shrimp are good for? -- Peace!

Teeny tiny cocktails. G It looks as though they don't do any harm; merely a cleaning nuisance when they die indoors or in a swimming pool. I'll have to keep an eye out for them - I always like to see a new critter (new to me at least). -- Mike Harris Austin TX |

Read the weblink. They definitely don't like the indoors if in AC conditions on a tile floor. Look he http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2081.html I was almost induced into believing I saw 4 sets of legs, NOT. Look again at the original weblink photo. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. -- Jonny |

says... SNIP Thanks Steve, Your first post directed me to the correct ID. Looks like Jonny either didn't look at your followup, or was just trying to stir up the pot a little. Thanks again for ID'ing this "mystery bug" Take Care, Scott ************************************************* Scott H.
