Correct, not an insect. It’s an isopod. This one is a woodlouse or pillbug; in fact, I’d also say that it’s Armadillidium vulgare that can roll up into a sphere and it’s also known as a roly-poly. And you thought the same way.

EXTERNAL SENDER Would anyone be able to assist in identifying this insect our pest trap captured this week? I could not find anything close in the image library, but it reminds me of some type of Armadillidium vulgare. Am I even close? And should we have any particular concerns?
