That looks to be a fossilized “rolly polly” insect. The ones that roll up into small armored balls. I ate one one, thinking it to be a chocolate chip fallen from my cookie. I won’t repeat that mistake, ever.
BTW: Below is a side by side photo of my new “carry around” Sony A6600 next to my “main camera” Sony A7IV.
Down here in Florida where self defense is considered to be a right, there is a maxim among the people who commonly carry weapons. That the best weapon for self defense is the weapon which you are most likely to have with you.
The same principle applies to cameras. If I’m going somewhere on a photo shoot, I’ll very probably have the larger camera with me. It is the more capable but not to the degree you may suspect. But the other 99.999% of the time, the bulk and cost precludes it as a constant companion as I travel about. But the smaller camera fits in my console or even a pocket with a smaller lens. And I constantly find photo subjects for which I wish I had a more capable camera than a cell, even my capable (for a phone) Pixel.
I used to get really good early dawn shots while going to work, when I worked.
At one point, I had an earlier version of the A6600 but I gave it to my wife when she dropped and destroyed her camera. I asked for it back but was cursed at.
Tom, you Floridians have some of the biggest creepy crawlies in the country but if there are still trilobites down there then look out for the lizards, they must be dinosaurs.
I agree about the best camera. I only have the one camera so I’ve begun wearing a very small backpack to encourage me to carry my camera when I go for a walk. Otherwise I might miss some good shots.
A picture of pistol extremes. Guess which is more often concealed carried.
The large pistol allows barrels of various calibers to be easily swapped. I’ve got five barrels for this from .357 Mag pistol to 30-30 Winchester. There are 45-70 barrels available but not for me. Those recoil so hard that I’ve seen them rip out of the hands of the shooter and almost literally brain him.
Or here is a target rifle chambered in 6.5 Grendel. This rifle is optimized at up to 600 yards. I’ve got other bolt action rifles that work up past 1000 yards. I used to compete regularly.
It is nice living in states that allow such hobbies as this.
