		You may think that having so many different pseudonyms for a creature of such minor significance in the greater scheme of things is no big deal.
		And you'd be right to an extent - a physicist mixing up her woodlice with her sand fleas is less likely to result in cataclysmic nuclear meltdown than that same physicist mixing up her petri dishes of uranium and plutonium.
		There is, from our point of view, one redeeming feature of the woodlouse, and that is their Britishness.

	Woodlice Oddities
		For example the front half of the body may be a pinkish colour and the back half may be the "normal" grayish colour.
		The bacteria upset the normal action of the woodlouse male hormone.
		As the bacteria are passed to the next generation of woodlice in the cytoplasm of the egg cells this process means that there is a better chance of Wolbachia survival as all infected offspring will be female and therefore will allow infection of the third generation of woodlice.

	Prides and Prejudices: The Tragedy of Genius-- Ranger Ricky on Woodlice
		Just after a woodlouse molts, its exoskeleton is nice and soft, and this is when it is at its most vulnerable to predators, like the Dysderid spiders, of whom there are nearly 500 species, all wholly dedicated to eating woodlice and nothing but woodlice.
		Actually, the woodlouse has two sets of antennae, but the second pair is so small you've never noticed them (even with a magnifying glass), and anyway, they're useless, so even if you managed to spot them, you still wouldn't be any better off than you were before.
		A woodlouse has to remain wet in order to breathe, and they dehydrate quickly through their exoskeletons, which are far more suited to an underwater habitat.

	Woodlouse
		A woodlouse, also known as a pill bug (Armadillidium only), armadillo bug, sow bug or slater is a terrestrial crustacean with a rigid, segmented, calcareous exoskeleton and fourteen jointed limbs.
		They need moisture and so are usually found in damp, dark places, such as under rocks and logs.
		In Britain there are 37 native or naturalized species ranging in colour and in size (3 - 30 mm) of which only five are common - Oniscus asellus (Common shiny woodlouse), Porcellio scaber (Common rough woodlouse), Philoscia muscorum (Common striped woodlouse), Trichoniscus pusillus (Common pygmy woodlouse) and Armadillidium vulgare (Common pill bug).

	Woodlice
		The woodlouse is a familiar creature to most people, various species appear all over the world, here in the British Isles we all live close to at least a couple of species.
		As with all Arthropoda, the woodlouse is a segmented animal with a ridgid exoskeleton and jointed limbs.
		Many woodlice in my cultures have been seen to stop when they meet another woodlouse and appear to `tap out' what seem to be complicated `messages' with their antennae on to the antennae of the other woodlouse.

	Bt maize: No risk to woodlice
		These two species of woodlouse make particularly suitable test organisms for the USA, since they are widely found in the maize-growing regions there.
		In this laboratory study, leaf material from two Bt11 maize varieties, two Mon810 maize varieties and the corresponding isogenic lines were fed to the woodlice and their survival and growth was measured over an eight-week period.
		In 2000 and 2002, studies were conducted at the University of Bern with another species of woodlouse Porcellio scaber, also using Bt maize varieties that produce the Bt toxin Cry1Ab (Bt11 and Bt 176), as well as several conventional maize varieties.

	Gordon's Woodlice Care Sheet
		If you find a dead woodlouse or cool one down in the fridge so that you can count the legs you will find that it has fourteen, seven on each side, from this you can realise that woodlice are not insects.
		Put the Woodlouse in the centre and then put the lid on and use a marker pen to record the Woodlouse's position every 15 seconds for about ten minutes.
		After ten minutes let the Woodlouse go back to its normal home and work out both the total distance covered by the woodlouse, and the number of times the Woodlouse made a turn of more than 90 degrees.

		As the woodlouse grows it sheds its exoskeleton in two halves which split across the centre and the front separates from the back.
		It works by sticking to the exoskeleton of the woodlouse by static attraction and abrades it as it moves around resulting in holes which lead to dehydration and death.
		It is applied as a fine powder to paths and areas where crawling invertebrates are present.

	Woodlice
		There are some woodlice, called pill woodlice or pill-bugs, that are able to roll themselves into balls when disturbed - a habit that often leads to confusion with the rather similar looking pill millipede.
		The pill millipede (Glomeris), however, is much fler and shinier, with many more legs (17-19 pairs) and a broad, almost semi-circular plate at the rear instead of the numerous small plates which form the tail-end of the woodlouse.
		Millipedes belong to a different class of arthropods, the Myriapoda.
