RE: Crustaceans In a Rotting Tree Stump - ...and, What is a Crustacean Anyway?

in #nature7 years ago

I grew up calling these woodlouse... now I know they are called slater here. We have plenty in the compost heap here!
When you get the chance can do birds and trees that would be awesome :D I knew the name of every kind in UK but here I only know a handful.

Sort:  

The name slater is also used in Scotland and Ireland. (I'm Scottish by the way) Actually I read an article this morning about how many names there are for these things. It's here if you are interested.
I hope to post more birds soon. My last bird post was two weeks ago on the Endemic Birds of Tasmania
