P. muscorum may reach 11 millimetres (0.43 in) in length, with a shiny body which is mottled and greyish-brown in colour. The fast woodlouse is, as its name suggests, faster than other common species; its body is raised up off the ground rather more than the others and the head is always very dark in colour.
Common Striped Woodlouse (lat. Philoscia muscorum)
This is not intended to be a dry lexicon. Personal stories and sensitive articles form the framework for our pictures: „Franz and his mission for insects: Why are solar panels attracting insects?“
Solar installations on former farmland can significantly increase the insect population and biodiversity in just a few years. A side effect and a win-win situation.
