On my walk around town today I found this small black bug, (keychain carabiner for scale).
Closeup
It has two antenna and it seems that there is white on the edge of the segments.
Does anyone know what kind of bug this is?

While I agree that these guys are not dangerous to people or pets, and are generally helpful in the garden, they will absolutely massacre any strawberries or plant seedlings they come across. Apparently they also ringbark seedlings

@mcalex Well, I'd expect this question was mostly about camping/hiking, and very few hikers carry seedlings or garden with them.

DIIK, but it is either a bug that is essential to the local ecology or bug that hitchhiked on a shipment from elsewhere that is a disaster for the local ecology. In other words, an important question.

Where are you from that you've never seen one of these? I thought they were ubiquitous. (Serious question)

OK gotcha, the question struck me as someone asking who'd never seen one before, which was amazing to me because I think I've seen them everywhere I've lived in the US. Did you know they breathe using gills? (I had four boys, we were trying to figure out how to keep them alive as "pets". Did not succeed at this but learned a bit about them :D ).
