Oniscidea............ Or the common Woodlouse.

This little fella decided to take a stroll on my desk today ....... Unfortunately I only had my compact Ricoh with me but here he is.......





I'm not sure how he got in, it's an air conditioned office. Anyway after I finished with him I took him outside and put him on a damp pallet so he could have some lunch.

I like these very much Peter. Nice vintage feel to them, rather like old images of museum specimens. Lovely.

Awwww, he had his fifteen seconds of fame, and then a decent lunch - nice!

Not you, Pete. The louse! Nice capture (and release). You're clearly a humanitarian in the mold of Scotia's famous bard.
