Swarm of Slaters Marches Across Red Earth in Outback Queensland

An army of slater bugs moved across the red earth of outback Queensland at Trinidad Station, near Quilpie. Slaters, also known as woodlice or pill bugs, are multi-legged, land-living crustaceans and are typically found in moist environments, according to the https://www.ento.csiro.au/education/allies/isopoda.html CSIRO</span> . Wendy Sheehan posted this video to her https://www.instagram.com/p/CbFUVrRglQc/ Instagram page saying recent rainfall in the region might be the reason for the moisture-loving bugs' appearance in rural Australia. "I don't know if it's as a result of the 5 millimetre [rain] we had last night, or in anticipation of rain coming, or some completely unrelated bug reason," Sheehan said. "My chooks love eating them if they get the chance, but I've never seen anything eating them when they are out in the open and on the move like this."
