I just noticed today that they are on my front glass. The one I took a picture of is just so big. I don't know what it is.

Ha, I wish. Actually I sponsor the hitchhiker thread so I am at the top of every thread here. My wife @Ocean_Queenie brought me in, then asked about your post so I thought I would answer.
 
Isopods can come in with anything. We have them in one of our aquariums that we noticed during a fallow period. I think they remind me of plankton from Sponge Bob SquarePants.

I think they look like that also. Thanks for your help.
