While out in one of my favourite woods the other night, I came across this little fella. A fine example of a pill millipede (Glomeris marginata).
Although small, these things are a marvel of nature. Just watching them move is interesting stuff. The way their armour plates glide over the next.
This one was a few inches from a juvenile (much smaller, with a yellowish, semi translucent shell). Not sure if it was the offspring (as there was only the one), or a potential next meal. Cannibalism in woodlice is pretty rare, but if they get hungry enough it can happen. I know these aren't strictly woodlice, but they are very closely related. It could be that the young was one of the first to hatch, as they breed during spring/summer, and hatch 2 months later.
Anyway, here's the piccies for anyone who's interested

Defined/contrasting shell...





All those legs, telling you it's not your usual woodlouse...
