This marine #isopod Idotea balthica is a #Native #species, found on seaweed and seagrass in the subtidal zone of rocky shores around the British coast. The nearest terrestrial relative is a small range of #woodlouse species. #Brighton #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #brightonwildlife

A cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides) wrapping up dinner. These amazing beasts can devour siders many times their size by holding supersticky silk between those long front legs and wrapping them up from a distance. This time it's a woodlouse on the menu. #Nature #WIldlife #Arachnid #Spider #Woodlouse #Macro #Photography

I discovered a buzzword important for #nature, and every #museum and #gallery: #SlowLooking. Here's my article how to do it, great for kids: steady.page/en/naturemat... #NatureMatchCuts #soilLife #soil #NaturePhotography #woodlouse #biodiversity #naturalist #reconnectWithNature

Slow Looking And Soil’s Hustle...

When it comes to photography, I'm a bit lousy...

Ran into a tiny commuter during today's walk. Just a blue collar guy trying to bring home the bacon. It's easy to lose sight of the scope of things, sometimes.

Be kind, fellow humans.

The #woodlouse #Oniscus #asellus (Oniscidae) is originally distributed in Western #Europe, but today one of the most common isopods in #CentralEurope, occuring e g. in dead wood or #leaflitter and is neozoon in North America. D. T. Bilton (2008), names two morphologically/ecologically different #subspecies, O. asellus asellus and O. asellus #occidentalis.

Another film super-macro shot. This time, the woodlice were eating my strawberries. I'm not particularly happy with how many they ended up eating, but at least I got a photo out of it?

Ever seen a woodlouse shedding? It splits directly down the middle, the front falls off forwards and it walks out of the tail. Or, in this case, sits and eats the front first. The moult looks like a little, white ghost of a woodlouse.

Common striped woodlouse (Philoscia muscorum), a species known for its long legs, elevated body position, and speed. Often referred to as the fast woodlouse. Native to Europe. #woodlouse #woodlice #crustacean #isopod #nature

I think this might be a common pillbug (Armadillidium vulgare), a species introduced from Europe and found just about everywhere now. Some of the varieties sold as pets are incredibly beautiful. #pets #woodlouse #pillbug #isopoda #crustacea #nature #arthropod #WoodlouseWednesday

thinking about this lovely pillbug i found in my compost :) not sure on exact species, but my guess is armadillidium versicolor

I mowed the lawn today just to keep it under control. The #CompostBins have a whole community of #fauna and #fungi in them but as soon as you lift the lid and expose them to bright #sunshine, they scurry away looking to retain moisture and out of the sight of likely predators like birds. It’s difficult to get a good #photograph of any #arthropods.

However, I did manage to capture an image of this #woodlouse.
