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.

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...

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.

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.
