I'm not so sure... I think I slept with one eye open... and occasionally thought I heard the marching of hundreds of tiny feet.
I'll take another look tonight and see what's going on, I can't be 100% sure that I got the right critter. I was looking over the damaged areas in my semp garden today and noticed a well defined progression from one semp to another. The stolons would disappear off of one side of one semp, and then one side of the semp next door, and so on. If I was plotting this on a police crime map, it would have been easy to see a pattern and maybe even predict the next victim.
Doing a little research it seems that millipedes can be an agricultural pest. When there's alot of 'em, or when the food choices are limited. The latter case would apply to me. This millipede would have been more than happy to live out his life in my compost bin, but I likely scooped him up when I was moving dirt and dumped him where there was nothing to eat but juicy semps. It's a theory.
