I'm in Nebraska and I have holes in every leaf in my garden except my mint plants. My digital camera isn't working, otherwise I'd show you a picture. The thing causing the holes is attacking all the plants in the neighborhood, and no one knows why. We have two very experienced gardeners in our neighborhood, and they're dumbfounded.

The holes are about 1/8 inch in diameter and perfectly round. They are about 1/2 inch apart all over the leaf. I'm not finding any bugs on the plants.

It's eating my basil, parsley, tomatoes, oregano, thai basil, and an unknown Japanese flower that I got from a friend. It's really hitting the hollyhocks in the neighborhood hard.

I'm trying to move around my mint pots so they'll be closer to the affected plants, but that only helps a little bit.

Any suggestions? Does anyone know what it is? Any help would be much appreciated.

Nevermind, the nursery told me it was bull weevils. Now I just have to get rid of them. Thanks, anyway, I know lots of people looked at my problem.

Just saw your post!
How did you get rid of them? Are your plants OK?
I don't think I have ever seen a bol weevill, but have heard they can do a lot of damage!
