Woodlice, or pillbugs, prefer dark and humid environments as they are sensitive to desiccation and light exposure. Light can lead to dehydration and increased predation risk, making them feel vulnerable. Additionally, their aversion to light helps them maintain their moisture levels, which is crucial for their survival. Consequently, they tend to seek shelter under rocks, logs, or leaf litter where it is darker and more humid.

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.
