Hedge Rows, Woodlice
Woodlice are found in cracks in the wall, rotting damp leaves, under dead tree bark, round the bottom of trees, under wood stones and bricks, and in flowerpots. The woodlouse is not an insect but a crustacean, that has 14 parts to its body, which gives the woodlouse the flexibility to be able to curl into a ball to protect itself from danger. This means that only the hard outer shell of the woodlouse is exposed. The woodlouse is a herbivorous animal and therefore only eats organic plant matter. The woodlouse rarely eats live plants and feeds on the decaying leaf and plant matter found on the forest floor such as leaves, rotting wood and fruits that fall from the trees above.
