Slaters, also known as pill bugs or woodlice, do not truly hibernate, but they do enter a state of dormancy during extreme weather conditions, such as cold or drought. During these times, they seek shelter in moist environments to reduce their activity and conserve moisture. This behavior helps them survive unfavorable conditions until the environment becomes more suitable for their activity.
yes..well slaters inhabit places which are moist and dark...since dark areas have moist condition this prevents them from dehydration..as light is concerned, light comes with heat and this is why slaters move away from light....THEY FEAR OF DEHYDRATION!
Water slaters, also known as aquatic sowbugs, primarily feed on algae, decaying plant matter, and small aquatic invertebrates. They are detritivores, meaning they consume decomposing organic material found in their aquatic environments. However, they may scavenge on dead insects or small animals if the opportunity arises.
