The Secret Life of Woodlice - Online Workshop
Woodlice play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers, breaking down decaying plant material and recycling nutrients back into the soil. Understanding woodlice ecology and identification is key to monitoring their numbers and protecting their habitats. Join Avery Hill, invertebrate enthusiast and Assistant Biodiversity Officer at the Heart of England Forest, as we explore the purpose and benefits of woodlice, their fascinating adaptations, and how to identify a few common species. By the end of this online session, you will have a deeper understanding of their anatomy, lifecycle, and key identification features.
