No idea. It just looked liked something that didn't want to be messed with
and I'd never seen before.
I can see the headlines now.. "GW leads to furry yellow mutations" etc ;-)

Jon,

They only come out when snow is forecast. You did the right thing in
photographing it. Could be extinct in a few years!

lol.

I think Robin's correctly identified it. Bit disappointed to discover it's
fairly common.

Apart from the colour it looks very much like a woodlouse. Is there
filigree around the edges or is that a trick of the light/camera
causing fuzziness?
