Wood louse - Porcellio scaber

This amazing Crustacean has a 8 part segmented exoskeleton body.

Over the past few months, i have been using Macrophotography to get up and personal with a lot of small insects - but not louse.

 

Their structures are actually more amazing than i though and remind me of sea life, such as krill, or shrimp.
