Hi! From the long antennae,
Hi!
From the long antennae, the overall appearence and the southern locality I'd assume that this is a tropical/subtropical species, new to bugguide.net collection. Better image on the antennae, and head would be helpful.

Interesting find
Red edges are found on Philoscia muscorum. However, from its appearance especially the length to width ratio, this image looks like the European Sow Bug (Oniscus asellus). Perhaps its some unknown hybrid. Need an expert for this one.
