You can inspect the leaves (top and undersides) after dark, as some plant pests only feed at night. This might be due to slugs/snails, beetles, caterpillars, earwigs, grasshoppers, crickets, or katydids. Slugs/snails would be our prime suspect in this case, and the linked page includes management tips if they are the confirmed culprit.
