What is eating my peanut plant?

All my other peanut plants are bug free, and doing well. In one container-in separate area- one plant is getting chewed. I found one baby snail (gone!!) but did not see others.
What could be eating my plant?
Thank you

Those bites look like there were Japanese Bettles
if you found a snail that is what ate your plant.Re-pot it in fresh soil and spray the leaves with horticultral oil.
Ya gotta watch out for the Peanut Boogy Man!!!!
It could be one of two things: Dumbo or Mr. Peanut
Apparently some type of beetle, google it.
Looks like grasshopper or cutworm to me. Time for a good spray.
Good Luck!!!
I did not have holes in my plant's leaves because a rabbit ate them all, including the tiny yellow blossoms. A very tasty plant! I covered the whole plant with pine straw.
snails or slugs--- use snail and slug killer and it will solve your problem.
Have you tried changing the soil? Sometimes you can have a bug in the soil or ants from bagged potting soil....you won't know they are there till they grow and develop....Good luck!!!
It is definitely not Japanese beetle. They leave a skeleton leaf but do no chew big chunks like that. Been battering them all summer. We're well aquainted.
Definitely looks like snail/slug damage to me. Where there's one there's usually a bunch more you *don't* see.

It looks like slug damage. Do you see any shiny trails on the soil or leading around the plant? This is a perfect plant for those gross things to hid in! You may want to leave a lidful of beer to go with the peanut plant!
Leaf miners. Look it up
