Yes AshishNimkar, they are both Isopods except that the isopod in this spotting have not evolved to live away from the water yet.
Nice link Jolly Ibañez, their size are almost the same.
You could be right chun. Look here: http://bcbiodiversity.lifedesks.org/page...
Chun...You mean its relative of Woodlouse..?
great spotting and a fantastic photo too ! - thanks for sharing
Hi AshishNimkar, I think the rules have changed.
We are not dealing with an insect or a centipede here.
This seems to be an Isopod, a Crustacean.
Maybe a Pentidotea wosnesenskii ?
Sort of beetle Larva or Centipede...
Amazing find.
