Hello Sara, happy to help.
It's not the work of Japanese beetles because the leaves do not have the typical skeletonized appearance. It could be earwigs but it also can be the work of slugs or snails.
I've added links to information about each pest to help you determine which it is and how to manage them.
Good-luck!
