Oniscus asellus? - Oniscus asellus
Haydenville, Hampshire County, foothills of the Berkshire Mountains (western Massachusetts) County, Massachusetts, USA
November 9, 2006
Size: roughly 1 centimeter
Here's a detail, showing flagella on the antennae with 3 articles (if I'm counting articles up to the flagellum correctly) and what look to me like prominent lobes on either side of the head.
