Leaves being eaten
By Georgia

I am pulling my hair out wondering what is causing this! My honeysuckle and passionflower plants (none of the other types of plant) are being eaten and I cant find out what is causing it. They seem to be attacked
from the top downwards so I dont think its slugs. I cant see any bugs or in fact any evidence of bugs or fungus on them. The leaves are being chewed away as if caterpillars are eating them but there is no evidence of them either! What on earth can it be?

I had one shrub that was regularly affected by leaf-eating bees. It looked untidy but didn't do the plant any harm

Check behind them to see if it is snails. They have a habit of hiding in the cool, damp, shade of climbing plants coming out at night to eat the tender new growth

Possibly earwigs. Put a flowerpot filled with straw (or torn-up newspaper) upside down on top of a cane by the affected plants. In the morning, shake out the contents and see if earwigs come out, then you will know and also of course, you can destroy them! Good luck.
