That they easily dry out is the reason why the sow bug needs a moist atmosphere.

Specifically, the sow bug is prone to moisture loss. It loses water whenever it eliminates waste. Water also seeps out through its hard outer skeleton, which is called a cuticle. Therefore, sow bugs generally try to spend time under damp, dark litter, logs and rocks even though there is one species, Hemilepistus reaumuri, which is native to the Middle East's and North Africa's deserts.
