New to Nottinghamshire in March 2021, when found at Stoke Bardolph. Always found near to water Trachelipus rathkii
occurs under stones and other long standing flood debris.
Nottinghamshire's first were located under
the loose bark of some felled trees in a disused car park near Burton
Joyce, but more turned up under an old rabbit hutch door and then
underneath stones on the bank of the River Trent.
The site had recently been under water, following the Trent bursting its
banks earlier in the year. This Woodlouse should be expected at other
sites locally, especially along southern reaches of the River Trent,
under logs or stones which are prone to flooding. |
