Isopod ID

I found these is my garden in SW Ohio. Lots of these. What type isopod are they and are they easy to keep?

Armadillidium vulgare. Really common and easy to are for. Keep them with leaf litter and a little humid. You can feed them fish flakes or decaying matter

Looks like Armadillidium vulgare to me. This species is easy to keep. Make sure to keep it in a well-ventilated container. Armadillidium sp. tolerate lower humidity than many other isopods, but always needs a moist spot somewhere in the enclosure.

Thank-you, @Biollantefan54 and @Aquarimax . If I can find a another box around here, I think I'll keep a few!
