    Lousy shot, Mark (It had to be said! )

    PS - a super macro!
    PPS I'm pretty sure these aren't insects, though!

    I remember working at a Saltpan at the northeast corner of Arran years ago. There were interesting marks on a slab of rock.
    Several months previously they had been identified as the footprint of a woodlouse from the Carboniferous era.

      Oniscus asellus Common Woodlouse.

      A crustacean, not an insect.

          Nice shot Mark
          That looks like quite a large (British land based) Isopod
