Thats one for the lizard then, shudders. Cannot stand woodlouse, loathed them for years. Yes I know they do a great job.
Since helping Mum on the allotment I have unearthed these beasties. They make me laugh though. They have certain areas where they nurse their children and I call these woodlouse nurseries. I often watch a solitary woodlouse making the long journey up the wall or across the floor. Glad the lizard likes them
I just Googled that my garden is overrun with woodlice this year, wondering if this was going to be a problem, so it was v comforting to find this article.
I too think they are rather cute, I love the way they roll up and nowadays I love the way they scatter like mad when I pick up a flower pot or like when I returned to a plant I was half way thorugh potting out, I had left in a too shallow hole I dug, meaning to return and deepen it. When I picked up the plant the earth started to move, lots of tiny little wood lice scatter to the four corners of the worlds. So I can relax now and enjoy the fact that this is obviously a fantastic year for them and hopefully they will continure to flourish in my garden chomping their way through my rather rough soil :-)
