The beastie showing at:

www.indaal.demon.co.uk/Mystery.htm

was crawling up the kitchen wall just now.

It is presumably an arthropod of some kind, just over 1 cm long, and has
7 pairs of legs.

An ID would be most welcome.

Thanks

It's a woodlouse species, but wouldn't like to say which one.

I agree that it looks like a woodlouse, indeed it looks a bit like
Oniscus asellus, the common shiny woodlouse, but compared with photos on
the web, it is much slimmer and the yellow spots are much more
prominent.

Aaarrghh! Kill it! Kill it with fire!

Oh, hang on, I was zoomed in a bit too much.

I found this on Google images.

Wikpedia says that species doesn't have spots though.
