Colin Purrington<p>So what are people's thoughts on using wood chips for weed suppression? I've heard that fungal decomposition sucks nitrogen from the surrounding soil, plus the nooks and crannies can provide ideal habitat for plant-nibbling pillbugs.

Dr Manabu Sakamoto (he/him)<p>I keep pet woodlice and I've been testing what food they like to eat, and so far, they've gobbled up courgette and cabbage, but not really interested in celery leaves or lettuce. They eat dead leaves and whatnot but they don't show the same level of enthusiasm as they do to courgette and cabbage...Interesting...<br><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/woodlice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodlice</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/invertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>invertebrates</span></a></p>

Matt<p>You can probably imagine my disappointment when I opened up these images and saw I had missed focus by fractions of a milimeter.</p><p>The woodlice have been eating my strawberries, but I tried to make the most of it by getting some strong red backgrounds and interesting scenes from it.

Matt<p>Ever seen a woodlouse shedding? It splits directly down the middle, the front falls off forwards and it walks out of the tail. Or, in this case, sits and eats the front first.

Julie Howlin<p>Woodlice are detritivores, which means they eat decaying matter and are thus a vital part of the ecosystem.
