Woodlice are crustaceans; even though they live on land, they require a damp environment to keep from drying out. Leaf litter and hollow logs trap moisture, protect them from the heat of the sun, and provide an abundant food source.

Woodlice display negative phototaxis, which means they run away from light. This is generally because woodlice are prone to drying out as they do not have a waxy cuticle. By living under rocks and logs, woodlice stay out of the sun and in more humid areas, which will reduce the chances of drying out and also increase the chances of survival.

They live under wood because that is what they eat, and because the wood covering provides the moist environment they need to breath.
