| An extremely common and very small
Woodlouse, with a length of just 4mm at maximum. These
are often found under logs in most damp habitats, but
there is one other visually identical species of which
the male needs examining under a microscope to identify. Trichoniscus pusillus was
once considered to consist of two visually identical
forms, both of which have been elevated to full species
level, leaving us with the ‘true’ Trichoniscus
pusillus Brandt, 1833 and Trichoniscus
provisorius Racovitza, 1908. |
