This tiny bug is around 6mm. long and has 12 legs....And yes it was a potpourri mix this bug was lumbering around. Any idea what this bug is called?

I can't help you name it... I wouldn't want it in my house, though. I'd be screaming BUGGGGGG if it was. ;)
I have no idea what it is but you capture it beautifully!

Nice shot, me either don't know the name of that bug..Bugs bunny?hhahhaa
Your little friend may be a sowbug/pillbug. He would have 7 pairs of legs and be grey brown. They like damp places like under flowerpots. He will do no damage. His job is to breakdown organic matter. Your poupouri may be his life work. Valerie
Wow! Great shot of your little friend!
great image sandy
Sorry, do not know what it is but a great shot.
What a neat photo and a cool looking bug.
Another great macro. It does look like a pillbug as Valerie says. Otherwise known as a woodlouse. Like how their segmented armour shows up on this pic.
Glad he's yours, nice little bug, nice little bug stay there.
OK, as much as I like taking macro shots...I don't think I would have let Mr Bug hang around long enough for me to get the camera! Great macro, had to look closely to see what it was.
I am debating what macro lens to get and wondering what you used here. I don't usually see people getting this close to their subject - and I like getting really close unless, of course, it is a bug. :)
gee, great shot! But like Rebecca, Mr. Bug will be gone before i get to the camera:) My MYM is here.
That is some Macro shot, WOW!!!
Great shot!

I can't say I know what kind of insect that is, but your photo is incredible!
I am not familiar with that kind of bug. Must be one that lives in your native area. You did a fabulous job on the picture capturing so many details. Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. Best wishes on your future blogs.
Your shot is a stunner, Dave. I have no idea what it is, but I can tell you it is not an insect. Insects only have 6 pair of legs, spiders 8. I was lured into looking at some of your prior photos and they are lovely. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
I don't know but it looks icky!
Not sure what that bug is but I love all your photographs! Absolutely wonderful colors and clearness. I'll follow you to more.
oh my this is superb! :) great shot!
He seems to be back from a billion years ago.
Awesome macro, and I have no idea what kind of bug it's..Thanks for visiting!
Really great capture :)

absolutely amazing!
when we were little we called these bugs 'pill bugs' because if we touched them they would roll into a ball. not an official name...
in oz i've always know it as a slater...but then again it may just have been the name my dad gave it. we used to love touching them to make them roll up when we were kids
eta...looks like i was right, did a search for slater bug on google.
