Lovely captures- never seen a pic of mating woodlice before and the others have it- the woodlouse is eating probably it's own shed skin so maybe they do take their clothes off first :)

excellent detail and interesting action - I thought they only mated at night?

Which set up do you like best your Canon or Nikon?
