Description
Description
The common Rough Woodlouse is one of the most common woodlice, found throughout the world. Add that to its rough feel, and that's how it got its name, common rough woodlouse. Unlike other members of the family, these woodlice like to play dead rather than curl up in a ball to defend themselves. The common Rough Woodlouse was the inspiration for a mathematical algorithm because of its kinesis behavior.
