A woodlouse has a long, stiff, segmented exoskeleton. These features of the woodlouse's exoskeleton enables it to survive under stones and bark.
its gills
because that's their habitat like ours is earth. ;)
They like to live in damp moist places.
in damp dark places eg. under rocks and big stones
Defense against threats and protection against disturbances are reasons why a woodlouse curls into a ball. The crustacean in question (Oniscidea suborder) curls with under-parts inward so that the harder exo-skeleton is what potential competitors and predators find.
Woodlouse, worms, beetles,ants
Wonderful wording - reminiscent of Lynne Truss! They survive in damp, slightly cool shelters, so need to crawl under stones etc. Their food is damp, decaying wood or woody plant material, so they are associated with bark etc.
Damp, dark, and terrestrial is the condition in which a woodlouse lives. The crustacean in question (Oniscideasuborder) lives on the ground in order to better eat moist, nutrient-rich decaying litter.
yes if you hold it under water for a long period time because it can hold its breath x :P
It is a grey/brown colour which is useful for camouflage and it has a hard, armoured shell over its body so it can protect itself from predators. The woodlouse can roll itself up into a ball when being attacked. The antennae are incredibly sensitive; they make up for poor eyesight. In some species, the female woodlice are completely void of eyesight and use their antennae as a way to see.
