Hi - I need help. Something is eating the leaves of my bean plants. I am at a community garden and when I was initially planting, there were these funny bugs that looked like pill or sow bugs but they were clear or whiteish. I don't have a clue what they are. And ok, I was maybe flinging some of them out of the garden bed because I was convinced they were bad. Anyway - now i have holes in the leaves of my bean plants - convinced its these same bugs (and of course, this is probably retribution for me flinging their brethren out of the garden bed).
Any idea what these bugs are? And how to get rid of them?

Could be snails or slugs. Could be a lot of things, but pillbugs don't make the list. Unless the damage is killing the plant, don't do anything, because it won't affect your harvest.
I will do some further investigation this weekend - I'm at a community garden and haven't made it over there much this past week to really look into it.
