Sowbugs/Pillbugs

Sowbugs and pill bugs are not insects but fat-bodied, soil-dwelling, crustaceans with delicate plate-like gills along the lower surface of their abdomens which must be kept moist.

Looking like little tiny armadillos, sowbugs move slowly while grazing on decaying vegetation. According to "Common Sense Pest Control" (Taunton Press, 1991), "Because they eat rotting material, these crustaceans can become a problem whenever garden vegetables remain damp and their outer cells begin decaying. This is particularly common where vegetables such as pumpkins and winter squashes, or fruits such as strawberries rest on damp ground." However, sowbugs are blamed for more damage than they actually do because they are often found in decaying fruits initially damaged by other pests.

Note: The only significant difference between sowbugs and pillbugs are the two small tail-like appendages which prevent a sowbug from curling up into a little ball like a pillbug.
