I have peppers, sunflowers, tomatoes and herbs that have been in the garden in southern Charles Co for about a week and a half. We've had unexpectedly cool temperatures so the rate of growth is slow and some of the older leaves got white then beige then died, and I snipped them off. BUT now something is chewing holes and even entire halves of leaves of the bell pepper and sunflower plants (next to each other), not so much damage to tomato and squash plants close by. See attached pictures. One pepper plant was so demolished I had to replace it. When I pulled out the remains, I saw a large (inch-long) striped grayish brown beetle that scampered off. It almost looked like a June bug but narrower and with striped body. I don't know if it's the chewer or just happened by. I have seen one Colorado potato beetle also, which I crushed, but those usually eat the squash and eggplant, which seem not chewed.
