Dear Albert,
We always love getting submissions from Alaska. This is a Woodlouse or Sowbug, a terrestrial Isopod in the suborder Oniscidea. According to BugGuide, they are found: “wherever cool, dark, moist places are available to shelter woodlice from dryness and heat during the day” and they feed upon “Plant material, usually dead. If live plants are soft and moist enough on the outside, they will eat them and sometimes do damage.”
