    It looks like the same worms that eat my geranium leaves. Check your leaves early in the day when it’s dewy, you should be able to see them and remove them. Cut off the leaves that have been damaged.

    I am going to say slug damage and something like white flies or aphids. The skeleton looking leaves look like slugs.... try a good washing with dish water, and check underneath for slugs, beer traps work well for slugs as do coffee grounds as a deterrent. Good luck

    slug damage. they feed at night. put broken eggshells around plant to prevent them from reaching plant, eliminate any places for slugs to hide during the daytime hours. ie rocks, wood boards

    Looks like beetles are loving them, or some other type of bug...try using seven on it....

    Check underneath the leaves to see if bugs are still there...I would also remove all leaves that are damaged...

    Looks like you have chewing bugs if some kind. Try Neem Oil, it's organic, it also is a insecticide, fungicide, and bactericide. Can be used as a foliage spray or a systemic treatment. Make sure you use 100% Neem Oil, like Dyna-Gro which is concentrated and mix according to package directions.
