Wood Louse on a Pole

This picture was taken this February, and the featured creature is a Common Wood Louse. They are Crustaceans that live on land. In Ecology, these small creatures with armored plating usually live out their lives in damp or moist areas such as under bark or amongst the leaf litter, eating dead organic matter. This relates to the first layer of soil: the Organic Layer, which is primarily composed of undecomposed or partially decomposed dead leaves and other plant materials.
