What could it be? There is an overabundance of roly polys this year. I have some June bugs too but they don't seem to be as many. Whatever it is I need to kill them before they kill my Marigolds. The Marigold is a little French yellow dwarf.

Thanks,

Bait for Earwigs.
Equal parts of soy sauce, cooking oil and (molasses or corn syrup). The molasses or syrup is bait to attract them--the oil doesn't allow them to crawl back out and the salt in the soy sauce finishes them off and makes the mixture dark so they think it is just a hole. Put it in a small container�A good use for all those detergent scoops. Cover 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of the bottom of the container with the mixture and bury it up to the brim in the soil where you have a problem with them. Prop a lid or something like a piece of wood over it so it doesn't get diluted by rain and so it is a nice dark place for them to hide for the night--ha. When you prop the lid, leave a small space for them to crawl into the container. You might have to wait a couple of days for it to work, but mine were full of them the next day. I was surprised by just how many I did get.

Slugs don't mind drowning in the cheapest beer you can find, and I used margarine tubs buried to their rims to hold it too, when I ran out of tuna cans.

Only issue I'm having is cleaning and refilling the tubs after the dog comes in for the night! He enjoys the beer when it's 'fresh' but doesn't go near it once it has those slimy critters in it.

Marigolds are now recovering, actually growing back foliage from their de-nuded stems.
