I recently found a bug on my bed. I would appreciate if someone could help me identify it. Thanks.

It's a roley poley, pill bug, or sow bug (all the same bug). They eat detritus outside. They like dark, damp spots. No need to worry about the little guy. His back sections fell out of order -- is he dead and dehydrated? That would make him fall apart like that.

It's a roley poley! That's what we've called them since childhood. They are harmless and you may notice them around the edge of your carpet against the wall from time to time. Kids play with them to watch them roll up for protection and a few seconds later, they'll stretch out. It's not a bed bug and they don't bite!

Looks like a Pill Bug or a Sow Bug depending on where you are. Dont worry, not harmful or a nasty bitey.

Looks like a "sow bug" or a "pill bug" to me.

Dunno why they call 'em Sow Bugs, but they do roll up into a little ball which might be why they are called Pill Bugs?
Don't think it's a bug to be upset about. Just a little critter out for a stroll.

Looks like a bed bug. Do you have any bites or rashes on you skin? Do you itch during the night?
If so, head for your friendly pharmacy and get the cure.
