HAVE A CHILDHOOD SEASIDE MEMORY of my first one – a monster of a thing scuttling over a crumbling sea wall. It resembled the woodlice found under the stones in my parents’ rockery, but this one was so big I could see its twinkling compound eyes with ease. Was it a freak of nature? Gigantism in a crustacean? Nope, this animal, at), the UK’s largest woodlouse.
