Woodlice are crustaceans; even though they live on land, they require a damp environment to keep from drying out. Leaf litter and hollow logs trap moisture, protect them from the heat of the sun, and...
Dark, damp, and earthy places.
Heat or cold beyond the comfort range for these cold-"blooded" animals. Drought. Lack of food. They like slightly damp, shady conditions, the sort of environment in which one would expect to find wood decays readily to be delicious to woodlice.
Woodlice prefer dark and moist environments because they are highly sensitive to desiccation; their bodies can lose water quickly in dry conditions. Light and dry areas increase their risk of dehydration, which can be fatal. Additionally, woodlice are primarily nocturnal, seeking shelter in damp places like leaf litter or under rocks to avoid predators and maintain their moisture levels. This behavior helps them thrive in their preferred habitats.

Abiotic factors are those that affect living organisms in freshwater systems, and biotic factors affect species in the surrounding area. Although crustaceans, woodlice do not live in water. Rather, they thrive in damp areas that provide moisture as woodlice rapidly lose hydration through excretion.
In winter woodlice burrow down into rotting leaves or the earth, to protect themselves from the cold.
Woodlice, or pillbugs, seek shelter under pots and other objects to escape harsh environmental conditions, such as heat and dryness. These creatures are sensitive to desiccation and prefer damp, humid environments to survive. The underside of pots provides a dark, moist refuge where they can hide from predators and maintain their moisture levels. Additionally, this behavior helps them find food sources, as decaying organic matter is often found in such locations.

They tend to prefer conditions of darkness and moisture.Theyprefer darkness because they are less likely to be preyed upon.They prefer humidity because it allows them to moult their old exoskeletons and expand their new exoskeletons but the main reaon for their preference to humidity is for the diffusion of gases as some invertebrates(woodlice) have gills for breathing.
