Bug in rotten wood of easy grower

Harika · 2020-09-05 14:13:36

Hi, After the bottom of my easy grower broke through as the wood rotted away, I removed all soil and found those bugs crawling around especially at the areas where wood was rotted. How are those called? Pics attached to tweet https://mobile.twitter.com/HariKa65612824/status/1302248217111941128

Wood lice. Very common and love to eat rotting timber.

They sometimes get a bad reputation as people mistakenly blame them for the rot, but they are only taking advantage of it. They aren't the cause.
