Braod bean attack

[tomatoada]

My broad beans which are about 9" high are being eaten by something round the edge of the leaves.  It is too even for slugs .  All the edges are serrated. neatly.

They'll be OK, the weevils don't do serious damage. From the title, I thought your BB's had turned the tables and attacked something else!

[tomatoada]

Thanks for replies.  You never know they might turn the tables one day.  Glad to know they will be O.K.  I am pleased with how well they are doing so far.

Yep, thats the pea & bean "notcher" weevil. They like to hide in the curled top new leaves of broad beans.
