Description
I could not find anything close to resembling any form of Animalia - Arthropoda - Crustacea - Malacostraca - Isopoda - Oniscide - Armadillidium vulgare - or any other type of woodlice.
But on the way out of the woods, I did find a yellow jacket nest under the deck. Very active! So Happy Birthday my friend and many, many more. Do zoom!
Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Oooh, WOW! Chicago Yellow Jackets are exhibitionists: they don't build that curtain...well, in this case, that skin. How interesting. That looks like a pretty solid nest too...I'll bet it's an older colony...either that or you were really, really, I mean really close to it. Well...maybe not. I love this! I notice these ladies have dark antennas and not the orangy/yellow ones common in the Midwest and so I'm guessing that these are Eastern Yellow Jackets. This may not be woodlice, but I love it! I have quite a close friendship with this species; I've never been stung, and there have been times when I'd get close enough to touch a nest. Usually all that ever happens is one of the wasps on guard duty would eye me with suspicion and then lose interest as if to say, "Oh, you again." They love Snapple (Peach Tea.) Okay, I'm rambling, but that's because I love this shot. Thank you for the dedication! I'm thrilled. Actually, I'm kinda giddy and inspired to go find the nearest hive.

Cool photograph of the hive, Dana. Other than the insects, this looks all the world like a spool of heavy string rather than a yellow jacket nest.

Nice capture and Chipka is right never seen a nest like they have built here but that alone is a piece of art nice catch.
