Hello!

My wife and I just put in a ton of hardwork getting our gardens renewed, only to find something has immediately started to eat the seedlings we planted.

Can anyone help us identify this plant eater? Looks like a tiny isopod/pillbug to me.

We live in southern Ontario, Canada.

Throw some diatomaceous earth on your plants and it'll kill the roly polys on your plants.

DE will also kill ants, spiders, ladybugs, worms, and other bugs that may be beneficial to your plants. I use it very sparingly.
