More information can be found on Wikipedia




Woodlice (Order Isopoda)

Woodlice have a body of 13 segments, each containing one pair of legs. They breath through gills and therefore are found in damp places. They feed on decaying plant matter and are harmless except when large numbers are present in greenhouses when they may attack young plants.

Eggs are held under the body of the female until they hatch, giving the appearance that the female is giving birth to live young. There are about 40 species in the UK.
