Came across this weirdly coloured wood louse this morning , Its larger than our normal ones in the UK, is it a foreign infiltrator or a mutant as cannot find it on the web?

I just googled " two colored wood louse" and this picture came up.
The following captioned the photo:
Purple wood-louse. The purple color is not the naturel color of this wood louse, but because of a virus the wood louse will became purple and will die afterwards.
Do you think that your wood lose may have caught the virus and slowly be turning colors because of it? Just my guess, I don't really know.
Good Morning Annie, have found out that it is a two tone pill woodlouse... nature is amazing you learn everyday
