Desert Woodlouse
Hemilepistus reaumurii
The desert woodlouse inhabits dry desert and steppe soils, spending much of the day in a deep burrow to avoid heat and dehydration. It emerges under favorable conditions to feed on decaying vegetation and other detritus. Adults are notable for forming long-term family burrows, with parents tending their young underground.
