if its just flower heads that are going then the prime suspects are:
rabbits, pigeons, squirrels and deer. [not in any order]

Hi, welcome to GoY, as Sbg says, these are the main suspects, as for it being aphids, they drink the sap, they're not capable of nipping flowers off the stems, Derek.

Snails can do this as well, they rasp through the stem and the flower falls off.
