what is eating the leaves of my rhubarb plants?

Something is eating holes in a lot of plants around our yard. Hostas, lilies, peppers, even rhubarb are getting devoured. I wondered about slugs but it has been very dry here, so I wouldn’t expect there would be THAT many slugs out at night. There are a lot of small butterflies around, and a lot of webs. Could these all be related??

Don’t be fooled, those slugs can be out there!

This is the time of year where are gardens are under attack by lots of insects.

I would address the possible slugs but also use Neem Oil as a treatment. It works as both an insecticide and fungicide and won’t harm bees.
