EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by David Spears, we are granted an exclusive glimpse into the extraordinary life of a Common Rough Woodlouse. Magnified to x55, this microscopic marvel showcases the intricate details of its single head and multiple faces that seem straight out of a sci-fi movie. With their peculiar anatomy on full display, these woodlice prove that nature has an endless capacity for surprises. Their antennae extend like delicate antennas, allowing them to navigate their woodland habitat with ease. Who knew such tiny creatures could possess such strange and bizarre features? As we peer closer at this A4-sized print, it becomes clear that there is so much more to these seemingly ordinary insects than meets the eye. From their armored exoskeletons to their ability to roll up into protective balls when threatened, woodlice have mastered survival in style!

So next time you come across one of these little critters scurrying about in your garden or under a log, take a moment to appreciate the hidden beauty within their miniature universe – it's truly mind-boggling!
