Can anyone identify this "pest"?

Can anyone identify this "pest"? - Lemmy.World

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.

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?
