I would say slugs or snails when the leaf was still  tender before it unfolded.

iid vote caterpillars? but then ive got spiders eating my stuff aswell as the usual slimy culprits so what do i know, lol!

[Eristic]

It's the origami beetle!

Actually slugs or snails have taken one bite out of the still rolled up leaf. It's so annoying but quite common.

[calamityjayneuk]

I know - it was "the very hungry caterpillar"  :D

[sawfish]

Tyranosaurus Rex perhaps? Look in your compost bins, you might find one!

[Robert_Brenchley]

They're best avoided; you don't want to argue with teeth that size!

[organicandy]

Do you have wood pidgeons around?

[GrannieAnnie]

You haveta admit, that's pretty fancy chewing!

[greenstar]

Calamity Jane - you beat me to it - that's exactly what I was thinking.

isnt it a leef miner

[daileg]

sorry i got it wrong isnt it froghoppers that destroy everything like this

[sawfish]

Sorry Daileg but I just cant take gardening tips from Kurt Cobain seriously. Its like Alan Titchmarsh presenting 'Rappers Cribs' or something like that on MTV.

;D

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

he presents everything else..............

[Robert_Brenchley]

It's not a leaf miner. They eat out the central layer of tissue in a leaf, leaving the top and bottom layers, so if you hold it up to the light you can see the 'mine' with the grub in it.
