Centipede and woodlouse plus a bonus

[alfbranch]

Well I managed to photograph a centipede today a first for me I found it when I turned over a piece wood while out for a stroll. It is quite small but I am happy

This may seem like a failed shot of a woodlouse and that is what it is but have you seen the Collembola and mite?

I hate centipedes.

Great subjects but there is something about them and earwigs that I just don't like (except to photograph!).

Did you know they are deaf?

Did you know they are deaf?

Ah! that explains why they don't sit and stay when I tell them to


Another nice set Alf

Well done with the centipede Alf. Presumably it was not just standing around waiting to be photographed.

I didn't think #3 failed, and that was before I saw the other two. (I wouldn't have noticed them if you hadn't mentioned them).

Well Paul you were warned in the title and I didn't know they are deaf

Thanks Chris
My cat is not deaf but it doesn't do what I say either

Thanks Nick and no that centipede was not posing for me obviously I didn't realise they deaf either

Very good, one surprising consequence of lockdown is that I photograph a lot less centipedes. I used to have newspapers around all the pot plants on the patio to find them and other inverts but a compulsory clean up during lockdown destroyed their habitat.

Pity about the clean up
I only spotted the centipede because I started looking under pieces of wood left lying around where I walk
