Day 118 - Pill bugs

I had a bit of time to kill in Wirksworth this afternoon so spent some time wandering around Stoney Wood....

I found this on a bramble but don't know what it is yet.

There were lots of banded snails around.

Whilst on the ground taking a couple of photos of the eyebright...

I noticed a pill bug crawling past, then spotted a small one rolled up a little further away.

I waited for them to unroll, as they usually do but it didn't happen, so I set them down on a rock and explore a bit more...

Then went back to them. They were still curled up!

But very soon they started to move.

There goes the larger one.

I like that he's so shiny you can see the trees and sky reflected in his body!

The little one never did unroll. I found it as a ball and on closer inspection it seemed to be a little damaged, though it was alive as it did move.  I put it back in the grass and left it.
