They prefer dark and damp conditions as they take in the moisture from the damp. They also have adaptations that are like gills, so they need the damp to keep hydrated and to stay alive. They live under rocks, logs and leaves etc.
Because they have gills, They need to go in moisture land to live in. You would find woodlice under rocks & leaves, And that's why they like damp places to live in.

Do crickets like damp soil or dry soil?
they prefer dry
What are the other two conditions of the woodlice's natural habitat?
woodlice can dry out so its main habitat is a wet place
Do woodlice have eyes?
Woodlice do have eyes however their eyes do not like the sunshine so they live in damp and dry places
Do beetle prefer dry or wet conditions?
dry
Can wood lice live in furniture wood?
Woodlice are more commonly found in damp and decaying wood rather than furniture wood, which is usually treated and less susceptible to infestations. However, if the furniture is in a damp or humid environment, woodlice may be attracted to it. Keeping the furniture dry and well-maintained can help prevent woodlice from taking up residence.
How is a woodlice adapted to its environment?
Woodlice tend to thrive in dark, damp conditions. Therefore, high humidity and dark conditions are the best places for them to grow. Light-filled, dry conditions are not woodlice-friendly, and therefore the best conditions to keep, if one is trying to avoid the infestation of woodlice.
How do woodlice behaviour help them survive?
Woodlice have innate behavior, meaning its unintelligent behavior. They run around until they happen to find dark/damp places that suit them, it's called kinesis. It helps them survive by getting out of conditions where they can easily be at risk from predators. this is a purely physiological response- they don't actively seek damp, dark places.
Do crabs live in hot and dry places or wet and damp places?
# no one really really knows they live in lots of diffrent places it depends what crab. # some prefer hot and dry ansd some prefer other combinations
Why food that is dry does not turn bad as easily as food that is wet?
Because bacteria prefer damp conditions in which to thrive. The moisture in 'wet' food (such as tinned dog food) encourages bacteria to divide and multiply - whereas dry foods (such as dog-biscuit) have less moisture, slowing down bacterial growth.
Does a millipede like a dry or damp habitat?
damp
What conditions does the story tell you darkling beetles prefer?
The beetle is black so it likes the dark and dry places.
Why are Woodlices like that?
Woodlice likes to live in dark,damp and dry placesWoodlice need moisture because they breathe through gills, called pseudotrachea, and so are usually found in damp, dark places, such as under rocks and logs. They are usually nocturnal and are detritivores, feeding mostly on dead plant matter. Woodlice then recycle the nutrients back into the soil. In artificial environments such as greenhouses where it can be very moist, woodlice may become abundant and damage young plants, such as ferns.Woodlice are negatively phototactic - they move away from a light source. They have this ability because they possess light receptors (ocelli) that are sensitive to levels of illumination.In their natural environment, dark places are normally damp places whereas bright places tend to be drier and warmer. Because woodlice need humid conditions as well as dampness, they will move towards dark places which tend to be humid.In dry conditions, woodlice and other isopods tend to randomly wander about. However, when they reach a humid, damp environment, they become sluggish and congregate in large numbers, often displaying a total lack of locomotion.This is of course a taxis response rather than a kinesis.I think that covers the gist of it.Experimental set-ups to demonstrate this phototactic response are not that difficult to devise. The simplest involve placing a dozen or so woodlice on damp kitchen towel in a high-walled petri dish or similar under normal room illumination. A piece of black opaque card, black cloth or aluminum foil is placed over the top of one half of the dish.They Even go under stones to hide. even though the hate the sun but they come out at night and also....... they move in a very different place so we can't find them where they have gone. thank you.
