What’s Eating Annuals

Question

What could be eating my annuals when I don’t see any bugs/worms/etc? Something is chewing up my annuals in my front flower bed. Marigolds have the leaves chewed up. Allysum have yet to bloom and are quite stunted. I can’t see any bugs around. There are tiny white dots here and there and eventually there’s a hole in the leaf. There are a few tiny ants crawling around.

Answer 1

Please check this url for more detailed information for what appears to be insect pests (you cannot always see them with the naked eye, btw) But they can be controlled.
