This term refers to a small terrestrial crustacean that typically has a segmented body and is often found in damp environments, such as under stones or decaying wood.

Similar to the previous meaning, this is a common way to refer to multiple individuals of the species. The term is used in ecological contexts to describe their role in decomposition and as a part of the soil ecosystem.

This term is often used in specific regional dialects to refer to wood lice, emphasizing their behavior and habitat. It is less common but still understood in some contexts.
