I believe you hit it Bev,

I knew I had an images of the regular sowbug and suprised I had not =
uploaded them. went and found and uploaded...
http://abolitphotos.exposuremanager.com/p/insects_spiders/img_7985sowbugw=
oodlouse_10

I also uploaded another image of the Philoscia muscorum muscorum, if you =
click the next image links you will see two versions now, one more of a =
profile showing the tail (telson) and it being narrower than the regular =
sowbug. Also note the more flared sides of the regular sowbug compared =
to the straight drop down of the muscorum.

These were found on the Gay's River loop rd where the parking space is =
beside the river, there is taller grass there and not the regular wood =
debris of the sowbug.

What an interesting evening,

Thanks to everone who posted concerning this identification.
Darrell

  Darrell,

  Your mention of the stance and it being fast moving made me think it =
might be a species such as Philoscia muscorum.  They don't look as =
flattened down as the majority of the terrestrial isopods I see around =
my place.  Also it mentions they are fast moving.
