Woodlice are terrestrial isopods in the suborder Oniscidea. Their name is derived from being often found in old wood, and from louse, a parasitic insect, although woodlice are neither parasitic nor insects. Other common names include slater, sow bug, and wood pig, common names varying widely by region.
Les cloportes (Oniscidea) sont un sous-ordre de Crustacés isopodes, qui ont la particularité d'être exclusivement terrestres. On en connaît plus de 4 000 espèces, dont 218 en France. La plus répandue est le Cloporte commun (Armadillidium vulgare).
