Appearance

"P. muscorum" may reach 11 millimetres in length, with a shiny body which is mottled and greyish-brown in colour. The fast woodlouse, as its name suggests tends to run about faster than other common species; its body is raised up off the ground rather more than the others and the head is always very dark in colour.
