What's eating my broad beans?

[kippers garden]

Has anyone got an idea what could be eating my broad beans?  There are nibbles around all the leaves.  I've found a little beatle thing on one that is brown colour but i can't tell if it has wings or not.  It is about 2-3mm long....has anyone got any idea..will they kill my beans or can i ignore them?  (i garden organically).

Thanks

I've just been on the internet, i think it is the pea and bean weevil.  What do i do?  Will they kill my newly planted beans as well as the ones i planted a couple of months ago?
Does anyone know how i can get rid of them organically?

Yep, pea and bean weevil, the little sods. Organic - well, finger and fumb method is what I use. You can gently shake the broad bean plant and if you have a piece of paper underneath, you can catch the blighters and massacre how you wish.
On larger plants, damage may be minimal, but on seedlings, well, vigilance is required.

Thanks...i'm just hoping they are big enough to survive.  I only planted my last lot out two days ago (these are approx 8cm high)  hope they survive!...wish me luck!

Mine always look tatty at this time but usually grow through it... not getting going the same in this dry spell though!

Is this weevil damage?

These are about 16" tall, are they big enough to grow out of it or do I need to Take Measures >:(?

Something's obviously had a nibble, but unless the leaves start looking like colanders, it won't bother them. Every year my Great Mullein gets reduced to lacework by Mullein Moth caterpillars; every year the moths pupate, and the mullein shoots up and produces five foot high flowering spikes.
