 Uh, please tell that to the pansies and violas my sowbugs/pillbugs
 devoured.  They are supposed to be saprophytic, but they will destroy
 hostas and particularly members of the viola family.  To test my theory,
 I planted big healthy 4" pansies and waited.  Two hours later, the
 pillbugs were carrying off stems they'd nibbled off.  No lie.
  >>
well if you have sow bugs big enough to chew of a peice of stem and carry it
off-They sure aren't a normal sow bug!!!!!
If that is what it is?
