OK, I'll listen to the Be Nice to Woodies Campaign! But you have to

that it isn't very pleasant to pick anything up to find the underside
alive
with little bodies dropping all over your hands.


I'm not squeamish


This is debatable. Woodlice are harmless, aesthetically pleasing and
mildly amusing critters. Now, as for inadvertently treading on slugs

toes that gets me.
