Default Problems Already! Stem and Leaves

Hi,

My first batch of transplants have only been in the ground for 3 weeks and today I noticed that two of the plants already have what seems to be some sort of insect damage - but might be other things as well. I suckered and lightly pruned the lower leaves of the plants 3 days ago and everything was fine then. We had a pretty good rain 2 days ago - otherwise nothing unusual. I haven't seen any insects or other bugs, but some sort of leaf eater is lurking somewhere. I suspect earwigs, but not sure.

Besides the chewed on leaves, I noticed damage on a couple of the leaf branches and growing tip areas on a BKX and JD's Special C Tex. I've attached some close-up photos of the damage. The plants as a whole seem healthy - just the few damaged areas. Any idea what's going on and what I should do about it?

Thanks!
Anne
