Wood lice at home in Nottingham there was a lot of young ones as well. I don't know why but we used to call them Pig Beetles back in 60s - 70s. @lgspace.bsky.social @nottsbag.bsky.social @nottswildlife.bsky.social #woodlice #nature #wildlife #beetles

A photo of a colony of black and white dairy cow isopods in their tub with substrate and cork bark. There is sliced banana, strawberry tops, carrot slices and kale scattered around and there are many isopods gathered around the food.
Our dairy cow isopod colony just got a feast! This colony started out as just a sun beetle tub with isopods for cleanup… and now it’s mostly an isopod box with the odd sun beetle 😂

Porcellio scaber or the Common Rough Woodlouse
Oniscus asellus. One of the most common and larger species of woodlouse in the UK
I'm going to record as many of the invertebrates I find in my new garden as I can. Really interested to see what I've got and whether I can increase the diversity over time. Two easy ones to start.

Today I was wearing my 'Cheesy Bug' (Woodlouse) tee shirt.
I adore these little bugs and I love that they have so many colloquial nicknames, what are they called where you live?

A macro photograph of four woodlice on weathered wood. The isopods are arranged in a row and have a characteristic, segmented shell in brownish-metallic tones. Their bodies show clear articulations and an oval, flattened physique. The animals are found on a rough, brown wooden surface with visible grain and small wood particles. The high-quality detailed image reveals the fine structures of the isopods, including their segments and the slightly shiny surface of their armor. A photographer's signature can be seen in the bottom right corner.
