A common and
well distributed Woodlouse over most of the UK, Porcellio
spinicornis can be common underneath the loose
mortar of old stone walls. Since 2015, several targeted
surveys have showed that this species is relatively
widespread in Nottinghamshire, with records from Cuckney,
Edwinstowe, Sookholme and Lowdham Churches, Worksop
Priory, the old kitchen garden at Nettleworth Manor and
Arnot Hill Park. Yet until recently, the only county
record was from West Bridgford in 1975 (Holdich, D.M). Specimens can be much more distinctively
marked and coloured than the individuals shown in the
accompanying photographs. |
