Hibiscus Plant Pests/Insects

What insect or bug is eating the beautiful green leaves on my hisbiscus plants? They are so large and beautiful, but in the morning I see large holes in the leaves or the leaves are half gone. I never see an insect or bug. Is this at night?

Are the holes making the leaves look similar to Swiss cheese? If so, this could be attributed to spider mites. Here are some articles that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/red-spider-mites.htm ^[1]
