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.

aka, you've got crabs
And I’ve got a new word
Today I learned! Cool! Use it in a sentence this week.
I dig holes around my plants and sink plastic cups into the holes, leaving the rims at ground level. Woodlice fall into the cups, and then I can give them to my chickens. It doesn't catch them all, but it seems to give my plants a fighting chance.
My chickens won't touch them , but will greedily eat all other garden dwellers, caterpillars, grubs, etc. 1/10, defective hens, should I turn them into tendies?
