Let's hear it for the woodlouse

Another gentle 25 minute run along the loch side and forestry track, revelling in the signs of Spring.

David Attenborough presented a television programme recently which focussed on the origins of life on Earth. One of the older species, woodlice, have been around for 300 million years. To put that into context, dinosaurs came & went within 165 million years, whilst humans have been around for a mere 15 million years and already seem intent on self-destruction. Who deserves the prize for sustainable co-existence ? (Clue – not the species that invented consumerism and weapons of mass destruction).
