Pill bug! No harm in them, they probably would be more a benefit for as long as they last

They eat stuff in the soil, they won’t harm your plant to my knowledge. They are a type of isopod.

Just your friendly potato bug. They don’t and won’t eat your plants so it’s ok to leave him. He will just hang out and maybe even eat any bugs you don’t want nearby.

So many different names for this bug, but the actual scientific name is Roly Poly.

used to love poking these when id fine one in the garden as a kid since they roll up into a neat little ball (we called them rolly-polly bugs). OP, they are not a danger to your plants.

Don’t remove. Isopod eat decaying material. Isopod poop fertilize soil. Fertilized soil equals happy plant.
Wood lice? Doesn’t eat plants. Justlet him have a wander.
I think that is an outdoor plant OP. But I’m not sure
Come on….
I mean seriously…. My mind is blown that someone who made to adulthood hasn’t seen a zillion of these. I guess kids don’t go outside anymore?
I wish I had these guys in my plants! They’re so fun
A rolly poley! They’re harmless lil guys
