No sign of baby snails I suppose Terra?

Hi Pam .. Thanks for looking ...
I checked the reverse of the leaves and could see nothing obvious... The holes are not at the edge of leaves, but further in, as shown in the pic ....

I think it could be some sort of beetle TT.

Thank you Hywel ..
I'll keep a look out for unwelcome visitors ...

They can look a wee bit tatty at this time of the year. Generally slugs don't touch Brunnera but the do reside underneath, possibly you've got a lazy one living under there TT :)

I agree with the others,Terra..lots of them taking shelter now,on plants they don't usually go for..on the undersides of leaves..and in between the leaf joints by the stems.I think.they have found a good umbrella on your Brunnera, shall I add a :o) for a possible answer, or a :o( for having to look for them ? lol. xx

Thanks Sandra ..
I don't know whether to cut off a lot of the leaves ... the plant is near my front door and the leaves have been looking so pretty...

I give you :o))) for possible answer ..

and :o((((((( for nasty beasties chewing my favourite leaves .. xxx

I don't know if it's slugs TT ... they usually rasp the leaves as they go along, and leave a trail.
Small individual holes like that are usually made by beetles.
There are some 'good' beetles, so I don't know which ones it would be.

Or it could be baby slugs lol ...

Hello Hywel ..
... or baby beetles ... Lol.

They are certainly not good beetles if they keep chewing my favourite plants ... they are naughty beetles..

Thanks for following this :o)

Hi Angie .. Thanks ..
Just saw your comment ..
I'll keep a watch out for lazy slugs ..
.. and not so lazy beetles.. ;o)

I had to chop mine back last winter TT - my new driveway was getting done and it was in the way.
The frost did a little damage to new growth but nothing drastic and it didn't stop it flowering.
You could take a chance now if you know the weather isn't going to take a bad turn!

That's useful to know, Angie ... thanks ..

Earwigs?

Thanks Digginfit ..
I've just googled those and it seems earwigs make very similar leaf holes in Ontario hop yards !
