Just up the street there's an old house that's been abandoned at least for the three years I've lived here and, by the look of it, quite a bit longer than that. On the way to the コンビニ I saw that they had started to take it down. It's amazing to watch them demolish a house that has other properties less than two meters away on either side. It's like a trapeze act.
These critters are everywhere here and I don't know whether they're harmful. Are there measures I can and should be taking? As far as I can tell, they don't climb the stalks, or seem to have much interests in the plants at all. Anybody have experience with them?
UPDATE: Turns out they're regular だんごむし (Armadillidium vulgare ). They only eat fallen leaves and improve soil health by breaking down vegetable matter in sizes more readily used by microbes. I also found this experiment (.pdf) that explains why they always seems to move toward the place that I'm watering.

Meant to take pictures of the other courses but...
