Discover the intriguing world of woodlice, also known as pill bugs or roly-polies. From the rocky shores of Cornwall, where Sea Slaters (Ligia oceanica) scuttle among barnacles, to the fallen leaves of Sheffield in winter, where Common Woodlice (Oniscus asellus) seek refuge, these crustaceans are found in various habitats across the UK. The Common Rough Woodlouse (Porcellio scaber) can be spotted in soil and logs, while the Southern Pill Woodlouse (Armadillidium depressum) prefers old garden walls. But watch out, they're not just harmless scavengers. The Moggridge's Trapdoor Spider (Cteniza moggridgei) of Liguria, Italy, lies in wait with a cleverly camouflaged burrow, ready to pounce on unsuspecting woodlouse prey.
