  Obviously provoked by the stress of me picking mom up between my fingers to have a closer look, but also obviously ready to wander of into the wide world and go its own way ... No animals were harmed for this etc etc ... ;o) Posted 6 years ago

      Yup, three or four of 'em crawled out and walked right onto my hand. This must have been the last of that bunch, taking its time before I had my camera ready :o) Posted 6 years ago

        They are so tiny. I wonder what percentage survive to adulthood. Posted 6 years ago

        Not too many I would guess, or the world would be covered in woodlice :D Posted 6 years ago
