Run!

A Common Shiny Woodlouse (Oniscus asellus ssp. asellus) going "Hell for leather" across concrete outside the kitchen. They are amazing little crustaceans, especially when viewed close-up. When I was trying to identify this one I discovered how many different forms they take (37 species in the UK). My neice and nephew christened them "roll-ups" because some of them can roll up into a little ball.
