they do not have red blood cells/corpuscles like other animals.
there is one variety of crab which has blue blood called Horseshoe crab, which they use it for medicinal purpose.
Woodlice along with most other crustaceans including the horseshoe crab have the compound haemocyanin in their blood.
Haemocycanin carries oxygen in the same way that haemoglobin does in mammals.
Haemocycanin contains a copper atom instead of the iron atom found in haemogobin.
The blood is pale blue when it is carrying oxygen and colourless when it is not carrying oxygen.
hope this will solve your problems.

Do blue crabs have blood?
Yes. All crabs have blue blood, not just the species known as the blue crab. The reason for the blue blood is that crabs do not have haemoglobin, which is found in the blood of vertebrates, and which is red due to the iron molecule in the centre of the protein. Instead, crabs have a protein called hemocyanin, which contains a copper molecule. This is particularly pronounced in the horseshoe crab, the blood of which is a stronger blue than other species.
