Armadillidium vulgare (male)

Found in my front garden in Ipswich (TM166450) on 7 Feb 2016. Keyed out as a male Armadillidium vulgare using Stephen Hopkin's excellent AIDGAP key. ID confirmed by Paul Lee, Suffolk Woodlouse Recorder. This is one of the most common woodlice in the UK. I used to call them Armadillo Worms when I was a boy.
