BTW the Isle of Wight has a unique species of soft-bodied woodlice and did
you know that there are several different species? Anorak points for the

Different genera too, aren't they? The ones that curl up vs the ones
that don't.

And they're crustacea, so related to prawns ;-)


Yes, iirc, they're the only truly terrestrial crustacea. Others still need
water to breed, like land crabs.
