Insect in crumbling brick by Sam_catch, on Flickr

About the same size/touch smaller than a normal household grey woodlouse... Any ideas?

I would have said it Is a Woodlouse. Interesting markings though.
Nice shot.

It's what I would call a slater?

Thats what I thought, there were lots of them in the crumbling brick and all were marked the same which is what made me think it wasnt...
