Wood Lice on a Coastal Adventure - Sea Slater Spotted in Kimmeridge, Dorset!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by FLPA photographer Steve Trewhella, we are treated to a delightful glimpse of the enchanting Ligia oceanica, commonly known as the Sea Slater. This adult arthropod is seen perched confidently on a sea wall in the picturesque coastal town of Kimmeridge, located in the breathtaking Isle of Purbeck. As autumn paints its vibrant hues across the landscape, this European native seems right at home amidst the rugged beauty of England's southern coast. With its sleek body and intricate exoskeleton, our little wood louse friend stands out against the backdrop of crashing waves and ancient cliffs. This marine marvel belongs to an intriguing group called isopods - crustaceans that have adapted remarkably well to life both above and below water. The Atlantic waters surrounding Dorset provide an ideal habitat for these fascinating creatures who thrive along temperate shores. With its playful antics and charming appearance, it's no wonder why this Sea Slater has become such a beloved resident among locals and visitors alike. So next time you find yourself strolling along Kimmeridge Bay during October, keep your eyes peeled for these charismatic crustaceans! They may just be embarking on another seaside adventure or simply enjoying some salty breeze while reminding us all to appreciate nature's wonders right at our doorstep.
