Porcellio scaber
I turned a log over in the back yard yesterday and found this little pile of eggs among zillions of slaters. Not sure if they are associated.
Outer urban back back yard.
Two main species introduced into Australia. The other one is Armadillidium vulgare which is rounded and can roll into a ball as defense. This one just runs and hides.
The 'eggs' between these two are not slater eggs apparently.
