The relatively permanent, vertical burrow systems of L. terrestris are unique in that they are often lined with pebbles, faecal earth, and organic material drawn into the burrows from the soil surface.
Les terriers verticaux, relativement permanents, de L. terrestris se distinguent par leurs parois souvent tapissées de cailloux, de terre mêlée de déjections et de matière organique provenant de la surface et entraînée dans les terriers.

"Tell the Huron dogs to howl louder, if they wish a Delaware to find them in the woods, where they burrow like foxes, instead of hunting like warriors.
Dites à ces chiens de Hurons de hurler plus haut s’ils veulent qu’un Delaware les trouve dans les bols, où ils se cachent dans des terriers comme des renards, au lieu d’y chasser comme des guerriers.

Our slightest gesture at nightfall seems more momentous by far than all we have done in the day; but man was created to work in the light, and not to burrow in darkness.
Tout ce qu'on fait durant le jour, paraît moins auguste que le moindre geste qu'on ébauche alors que la nuit tombe, mais l'homme est né pour travailler durant le jour, et non pour s'agiter dans les ténèbres.

It was he, rain-washed and besmeared with a sort of scum, polluted and dreadfully pale, four days dead, and close up to our embankment into which the shell-hole where he had burrowed had bitten.
