What's eating my plants?

Can anyone help me figure out what's eating my watermelon plants? This is my first time gardening so I'm a bit clueless. I saw a handful of wood lice around the area so I didn't water for the past two days to try and drive them away, could this be their doing? I've already lost one, the stalk was obviously eaten through and completely mushy at the base. It fell apart with the slightest tug.
