Woodlouse(english)
Bichos bolitas(spanish)
Woodlouse are animals that are related to the crustacean.Woodlice live in humid places because the need of moisture to breathe through their gills.By looking for information i found that there are several different kinds very common.So far here in the garden i found four,Porcelllio scaber,from the picture,Oniscus asellus,which looks very simular.Also i found the thru pill bug,Armadillidium vurgare and a pill millipede Glomeris marginata which are ones that roll into a bol.Woodlouse are detrivores,feeding mostly on death plant material.Woodlice are also a food source for different insect eaters there is even a spider specialiced in it: the Woodlice spider.From Galicia
