    Hi, need help with this one. Just as my lights came on a black thing about 3/4 to 1'' ran under a rock. looked sort of flat, black with two antennas. Looks like a wood bug, or thats what we call them.
    Trying to get a pick to help out!

    Sounds like an isopod. Don't know much about them other than they are mostly bad, but a place to start your search.

    Not worm like at all. Very funny, not at my place! Ha. Looks like a stomatella, but do they have a shell? This doesn't. My pics I try 2 upload are too big ? Can anyone walk me through this? Tried the profile pic but I still don't have one.

    As far as uploading the pic, just start a free account with photobucket and go from there. Once you upload your pics to your account, just copy the [​IMG]

    Get a photobucket account, it's free, then upload to photobucket. Once uploaded, hover mouse over image, the IMG code will display, then copy it and paste into your post.
