I saw a bug today, and it kind of reminded me of a horseshoe crab but with an oval body. I have searched and cant seem to find what it was. I looked up Limulodidae and that definately was not the bug.
The bug was very flat to the ground, was light brown in color (if not, almost clear), had short antanae, didnt move terribly fast, and no wings (that I noticed).

I thought maybe it was a roach, but looked them up, and Im almost positive thats not what it was either.
Any help would be wonderful.

Is it a rolly polly? Or a sow bug? Here's a picture of a sow bug.
