      You made my day!! I do like to find unusual creatures in our magnificent forests. Thank you.

      Agree! Rosalie has a most amazing eye.

    We used to call them rolypolys or doodle bugs.

      I’ve seen lots of woodlice in the forest that are ‘cousins’ to the roly-poly bug that we see in our gardens. This one was a Millipede tho only showing part of it in this macro photo. I agree that it looks very similar and they are both arthropods. Glad you enjoyed the photo. Thank you.

    Love these macro photos! Wonderful work, great glimpses into the life of the little!

    • Rosalie December 13, 2022 (10:39 pm)

      Thank you. Sometimes my favorite place is just sitting in leaf litter in the forest to find all these wonderful tiny creatures. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
