Whatever is making tiny holes in my pak choi also likes turnip leaves as well!
They told me the pak choi would bolt, but I keep the lottie gate locked! ;D
The answer lies in the soil!

No good locking it after the pak choi has bolted!

Whenever a crawly turned up on the plate or you found half a worm in the apple you were eating, my mother always said 'It won't do you any harm, it's a vegetarian!'  She is a great believer in not wasting food.

I'm wasteful and never eat anything that has a hole in it.

The last time I had a caterpillar on my plate it put me right off my sunday roast  ;D

We had some very tender holes last night, 3 very small cabbages that had been eaten, other three ended up as compost although they were netted, cut all the outer leaves off and had enough for 2 of us, just used the middle, those holes are very easy to eat but don't taste much.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Whatever for, it's a nice bit of free protein!
