Hi guys can anyone tell me what these are?
They keep coming from the drain or from the wood window sill in the shower.

I thought they where cockroaches but now someone says it's pill bugs.

They look like pill bugs. Just type "pill bug" into Google and you'll see.
 
we always called them rolly-pollies
 
There are lots of makes and models of Roaches, but those don't look like Pill Bugs either. The scales on the back don't look as uniform as a pill bugs. But then again, I'm no bug expert.
 
well, they are definitely not cockroaches. so i guess they are pill bugs
 
Def roly-polys. I thought everyone had those things around. They usually hide under rocks and stuff around here (east coast) Seems like they are pretty much everywhere.
 
The are definately pill bugs. I see them on my roof all of the time while I am cleaning my gutters.
 
That I believe to be a roach/pill bug hybrid. Pill bugs are amphibious, that thing is flatter and moves quicker than a pill bug I know this. To leave whatever body of water in abnormal for pill bug. It is not any shade of gray, has either a milky or transparent yellow color yes? Enhanced speed, flat body, and it DOES NOT roll into a ball yet it is segmented. It is a new hybrid species, I have been looking for a confirmation that these "hybrids"existed else where and were not a mere illusion of the mind, note I can further my research.
 
dpennnash: welcome to the site.
bryce: If they are come from the woodwook in the house, what have you done about that.
 
Yes well that was a rental, i am glad to be out of there. The problem was leaks and wood around the house which became infested with these bugs. The bathroom had wood in the shower.
