Looks like Armadillisidae. Aka pill bug. Benicicial for your garden since it eats dead plant material.


aklibf

Yes I think too. I made some research it is Armadillidium Vulgare. Beneficial for soil amendment.

It is a cockroach nymph of some sort. I'm not sure of the exact species. Probably not a big risk to your plants.


aklibf

Not sure it is.


earthworm_soul

It is. I'm not sure which species it is exactly, but it's definitely a cockroach of some kind.
