Description

Native to Europe, the brickwork woodlouse is an introduced species to North America. It is primarily found in gardens with brick-and-mortar walls. The insect is active throughout the year. While it can move quickly when threatened, it often remains stationary after being disturbed. The pattern on the insect’s back is what gives it the common name 'Brickwork woodlouse'.
