Woodlice are more commonly found in damp and decaying wood rather than furniture wood, which is usually treated and less susceptible to infestations.

Is a blue whale a forager a grazer a filter feeder a predator a scavengeror a parasite?
Amazingly this giant of the ocean feeds on some of the smallest marine life - tiny shrimp like animals called krill.
A single adult blue whale can consume 3,6000kg of krill a day.
They mainly catch their food by diving, and descend to depths of approximately 500m.
The whale's mouth has a fascinating row of plates fringed with bristles to help it filter its' main source of food - Plankton from the water.
There is what looks like a moustache of long bristles on the end of each plate to help it hold the minute prey. With each mouthful, the whale can hold up to 5,000kg of water and plankton. Having forced the water out of its mouth, the whale licks these bristles with its fleshy tongue.
