Every time I lift anything in the garden at least when the thing is
resting on a hard surface I see lots of wood lice scuttling away. Are
the harmful or friendly?
I also manage to get them into my compost bins when I am depositing
handfuls of cut grass which I had previously scraped from my rotating
mower and left to dry out.

As I have caught them eating dahlia flowers in my greenhouse, I regard

them
as pests.


If I had dahlias in my garden I'd regard them as weeds.

The hens seem to have eaten all the woodlice in our garden, I never see them
these days. I must ask what they tasted like.
