It looks like it could be feeding from four-lined plant bug. They are quick insects so its difficult to target them with an insecticide that isn't harmful to beneficial insects. It's also hard to control by hand picking. There is only one generation a year and they are gone in June. Most plants will easily outgrow any damage by summer. Sundrops are vigours growers so there shouldn't be an issue.
