Aren't they the most *disgusting* bugs? Ugh, I hate those things! Here's a fact sheet from Ohio State University regarding the critters:

I'm afraid your best bet in preventing them is to keep things as dry as possible. Not an easy task, especially if you're talking flowerbeds! They really munched my dahlias last year, little creeps. We get them inside, too, but usually not too many and they're usually in the tub (so I can send them on to the city water treatment plant - hee, hee).

I think they are what have been raising cain with my potted hostas. I also saw them all over my daylilies the other night. I might have to dust things with Seven.
