Porcellio Scaber
''Porcellio scaber'' (otherwise known as the common rough woodlouse or simply rough woodlouse), is a species of woodlouse native to Europe but with a cosmopolitan distribution. They are often found in large numbers in most regions, with many species (shrews, centipedes, toads, spiders and even some birds) preying on them. Taxonomy One subspecies, '' Porcellio scaber lusitanus'', is currently recognized. Two other subspecies were historically deemed valid but are no longer recognized. ''P. s. americanus'', described in 1932, was considered endemic the Americas. ''P. s. japonicus'' was described in 1928 and believed to be endemic to Japan. Both subspecies were synonymized with the nominate in 2020. Distribution ''Porcellio scaber'' is found across Central and Western Europe. In the United Kingdom, it is one of the "big five" species of woodlice. It has also colonised North America, South Africa and other regions including the remote sub-Antarctic Marion island, largely th ...
