    I really like Woodlice - they're crustacians, not insects (although apparently they don't taste like lobster image)

    They don't carry any disease, and hand around nr dead vegetation or wood - they don't eat anything alive.

    So next time you see them, think of prawns or crabs or lobsters - they're amazing!
