We live in Wales which is obviously damp but when they come inside it is dry carpet and there is obviously no dead plant material for them. It reminds me of elephant graveyards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386649337181414606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294155481861267737.post-30445133047062673442014-07-29T23:27:06.395+01:002014-07-29T23:27:06.395+01:00The past few nights after dark I've noticed la...The past few nights after dark I've noticed large numbers of woodlice on the ground almost like a mass gathering why is this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294155481861267737.post-25847180025004419472011-11-21T16:05:22.271+00:002011-11-21T16:05:22.271+00:00That makes sense Claire.

Although woodlice like relatively damp conditions, they cannot withstand immersion in water and, after flooding, they will tend to move up to find drier overwintering spaces.Africa Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501193251810926737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294155481861267737.post-72992928910314562182011-11-21T14:47:47.945+00:002011-11-21T14:47:47.945+00:00Ok, it's been a while since this blog was post...Ok, it's been a while since this blog was posted but I have been searching and searching and wondered if you could shed some light. <br /><br />In my garden i've had hundreds and thousands of woodlice living happily under everthing that stands still for more than a minute. <br /><br />The other day i came home, it was dark and it was like woodlice migration, all climbing up the fence and moving on to pastures new. I had hosed down the patio recently (we only have a small garden) and it was quite flooded and i wonder if that was the reason for mass movement? <br /><br />Any ideas?? <br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />A curious gardenerClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174778209273946823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294155481861267737.post-40422750332385905742010-04-10T20:37:08.944+01:002010-04-10T20:37:08.944+01:00Thank you for following Suz!
