Crustacean
looks like an isopod to me. Think pillbug (rolly-polly, sowbug).

Porcellio spinicornis?
In fact, I think it is the same species I linked to in the preceding comment, Porcellio spinicornis.

From the Porcellio page:
"Porcellio spinicornis is a broad, flattened species. The markings are characteristic: the head is dark brown and the back is marked with a dark central stripe, flanked by 2 rows of yellow spots on a pale background. The first two pairs of pleopods possess pleopodal lungs. P. spinicornis is 0.4 to 0.6 inches (10-15 mm) in length."
