The "why's" about woodlice
I know I said I wasn't going to post on this, 'twas just a means to an end but I got a special request to post about woodlice.
Why are there so many woodlice in my house? where do they come from? how do they get upstairs and into my spare room? do they teleport there? why are there so many dead ones just lying about? what kills them? why do they die in my house?
What, in short, is the point of woodlice?
and furthermore
why do we just consider them to be small insecty type things that never hurt anyone and are just there. We ignore them, mostly, but we never consider the fact that they are lice! Now, ordinarily when you hear the word "lice" you think 'ewww' in a prison-camp-scratchy-thin-grey-blanket kind of way, but when you hear the word 'woodlice' you just think, well, nothing really as they are so insignificant.
There, I hope I have done justice to the woodlice question and that 'S' who requested this will be happy and we can all go back to ignoring them (the woodlice that is, not 'S'. that would be mean).
