They eat rubbish basically and chew buds-a fairweather friend
So! blitzcrieg eh!
No -why?
Gotta leave some insects for the birds to eat!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I really like Woodlice - they're crustacians, not insects (although apparently they don't taste like lobster
)
They don't carry any disease, and hand around nr dead vegetation or wood - they don't eat anything alive.
So next time you see them, think of prawns or crabs or lobsters - they're amazing!
