Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI planted my impatiens this week and the flowers and leaves are being eaten by either a bug or a mite. It appears to be a smooth edge. That’s what makes me think it is not an animal. Thank you for any advice.

I would venture to guess that either slugs or cutworms are the culprit in question. Neem oil may help with cutworms, as well as most other insect pests.
