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.

Isopods are many species of crustacean. The terrestrial species are often called rolley pollies or potato bugs.
