Cool creature - they exist in Europe but are smaller and tend to stay deep.

@happysnaps @onewing @joannakate @gaylewood @tellefella @gilbertwood @irene111 @chrysanthemum @joansmor @hermann @deborah63 @thresheg @sketch2 Thank you for your kind words. It was amazing to see so many of these little guys running around and hiding under rocks.

@vignouse Thanks Richard, this one was only about 4cm. They can be kept as pets, as they are land dwellers.
