Slaters

Woodlice, or slaters as they tend to be called hereabouts, are crustaceans, distant relatives of crabs. This bunch of juveniles are living on an old tree stump in our garden. Funnily enough they are called woodlice because they  are often found associated with rotting wood.

Extra. A selfie from our recent visit to Braemar. My caber tossing skills are really coming along!
