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!
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 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.
Dark, damp, and earthy places.
woodlice like yellow, rotten plants and vegetables and fungi
woodlice can dry out so its main habitat is a wet place
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...
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.
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.
