After finding this fellow around the tubers and the stem of dahlia plants when I dig them, I'm curious who it is? Matches the color of the dirt so well it's hard to see, except it is about 1/4 inch long, appears to have a lot of legs, and is dark brown. No real shell that I can detect.

It kind of looks like a sow bug:
