All about woodlice

What is a woodlouse? Woodlice are invertebrates, which means that they do not have a backbone. Woodlice are not insects but crustaceans and are more closely related to crabs than to insects.

Where do they live? (Habitat) A woodlouse’s habitat is dark and damp. Can you think of some places woodlice might like to live in your garden or around school?

What do woodlice look like? (Appearance) Find 1cm on a ruler - that is about the length of a woodlouse. Woodlice have 14 parts to their body and can curl up to protect themselves from danger with their hard outer shell. Woodlice are usually grey or brown.

What do woodlice eat? (Diet) Woodlice eat leaves, wood, plants and fruits that are rotting on the ground. Toads and spiders are amongst their predators (creatures that eat them).

An interesting fact… There are different names for woodlice in different parts of the country. These include tiggy-hogs, parsons-pigs, cheesy-bugs and Billy buttons! Which one is your favourite?
