Today is the first day of 30 Days Wild, the Wildlife Trusts' annual attempt to persuade people to interact with nature more and in more constructive ways. I got mine in early when I rescued a large Common Shiny Woodlouse (Oniscus asellus aka cheesybug) from 2 metres up my kitchen wall and gave it a ride outside to some creeping thyme. The photo of my garden shows Ysgorpionllys (forget-me-nots) under abundant Pig yr Aran y Weirgoldd (Garanbig y Weirgoldd or meadow cranesbill) sheltering the Cenhinen Drichornel / Garlleg Trionglog (three-cornered leek).
There are 30 ideas for interacting with nature in this .pdf (sorry I couldn't find a more accessible list):

Hey fediverse, I'm here to add more soil animal content into your lives through my macrophotography! These 'ant woodlice' live exclusively in ant burrows, where they keep things tidy by processing any organic waste laying around.
