woodlice are also known as cheesey bugs...guess why?
Yup, apparently they taste of cheese
No, I haven't eaten one myself. I learned this fascinating fact listening to 'The Mystery Hour' on LBC radio

Thank you for all the replies, I'm reassured if they're wood lice and do no great harm... Thanks for the Wiki reference veggiechicken, I hadn't realised there's more than 3500 different species of wood lice... I'm used to those in the garden and occasionally conservatory that trundle around but these are not the same species. For a start I only find dead ones - I've never seen one moving in the outbuilding - and secondly there's loads of them, hundreds, but all dead. Years ago (10 years?) the building was fumigated for woodworm, so perhaps that's still having an effect? I'm not tempted to eat them, prefer Lincolnshire Poacher cheese.....
