Streetlights Are Trapping Thousands of Woodlice in Mysterious Circular Death Spirals, Scientists Find

The behavior appears to begin when the small crustaceans are drawn to the light and then become stuck following the circular edge of the illuminated patch, with predators such as centipedes taking advantage of the helpless crowds.
