This is a Woodlouse (Porcella scaber) cimbing the outside wall of our house.

Great detail Larry.

I wish I had taken up macro photography earlier on in my life when I shared a house with plenty of these.

No only do these guys look primitive, they are primitive. They started out as a bug living in the sea, related to crabs and lobsters, but have never completely left the sea. They still have gills under that shell and they need to be kept moist to absorb oxygen from the air so the bug can then absorb it from the film of water covering the gill. If they dry out, they suffocate and die.

Totally harmless though, and you Brits have 42 known species living on the island with you. :)
