It is an opportunity to get involved with some research from home, learn some science and is also a family friendly project! It's a fun and instructive activity and a good excuse to go outside during lockdown.

In this project, participants would have to go into their garden, park or forest and try to find woodlice (they really like to hide under dead wood or rocks). If they find a blue one, in addition to letting us know where they were found, participants can collect them and send them to us (only if willing/able to). Infected woodlice are not dangerous to humans (you cannot catch this virus!). Infected blue woodlice usually die within a week of turning blue.
