Sorry, I am having issues with attaching photos.

I can see your pics.
I have a few nibblers. On my lower leaves I get some flea beetles that are never so
destructive to hurt the plants. They destroy my hearty greens like kales so I use row
covers...
Another one is the tortoise beetle that is minor as well. I just pic them off.

Best to try and check often and catch the destroyer in action for a positive ID.

Most nibblers like the hornworms/army worms take a bit more of a bite and work fast.
Usually from the outside of the leaf and work in. More destructive.

Are those lower leaves or upper?

Thanks Oakley.

These are on lower leaves.

Earwigs do that as well,not a huge problem, plants usually do just fine.
