Re: Viola eating insects
It may or may not be sowbugs on the violas; I sort of doubt it. I've
done a little surfing (I swear you can find anything on the web) and
found that they primarily eat decaying vegetation. Also found this:
>L-1735 Sowbugs and Pillbugs
>1978 Texas Agricultural Extension Service
>Author(s): Philip Hamman
>Sowbugs and pillbugs normally live outdoors and occasionally feed on
>young plants. They may also enter homes. Sanitation is the most
