Re: two different woodlice

Hi Hedera...

Not really sure how old individual species can reach. But it's believed that some woodlice can live for an average of 2-3yrs, most of our woodlice reach sexual maturity within a year.

Philoscia muscorum can grow to around 11mm, while Porcellio scaber can grow up to 17mm. Your specimen could be at its max size?...hope this helps.
