because they think nobody is going to be around to get them like us but its not dark and this morning we got them OK!
Firstly because wood is their food source and the inside of a tree is dark. Secondly being in dark places reduces the chance of predation by larger hungry animals.
Because it tends to be damp when it's dark and moisture is essential for survival.
because they can be disguised from predators

They like it dark
They prefer damp conditions, Because woodlice need to breath through the moisture, they also have gills so they need to be in damp places like under rocks , logs & leaves's also need to be in dark conditions

Woodlice tend to thrive in dark, damp conditions. Therefore, high humidity and dark conditions are the best places for them to grow. Light-filled, dry conditions are not woodlice-friendly, and therefore the best conditions to keep, if one is trying to avoid the infestation of woodlice.
woodlice can dry out so its main habitat is a wet place
Dark, damp, and earthy places.
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...
woodlice like yellow, rotten plants and vegetables and fungi
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.
These places protects them from direct sun
Woodlice have innate behavior, meaning its unintelligent behavior. They run around until they happen to find dark/damp places that suit them, it's called kinesis. It helps them survive by getting out of conditions where they can easily be at risk from predators. this is a purely physiological response- they don't actively seek damp, dark places.
woodlice like to live under things that are dark so they don't get dried out, eg: under stones, plant pots, and under bricks and wood.
