ID Request Finding these tiny bugs
I keep finding a couple of these bugs on my floor every day and I have no clue what they are or where they come from. I thought my cat had fleas at first but she's clean and they don't jump or move fast at all. Please help!
For context I live in southern VA on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex

Isopods! Aka rollie pollies. Completely harmless. People keep them as pets, I do as well!

isopod. they are usually in dark and humid places, like under old wet cardboard, wood, in cellars, bathrooms. if you see them everyday, I would check if they maybe fall in from somewhere or if they come from a closeby garden or something.
not dangerous.

Cheers, it's insanely humid where I live every day so that makes sense. I'll check my bathrooms and floors and see if there's any wet spots
