Tropical Zone Gardening: What's eating my Sour Orange?, 0 by bbode

Hi! I have a two year old Seville Orange that I recently planted in my garden. After several weeks, it has finally settled in and bright new leaves are beginning to show. Within hours, probably, after something, I suspect some bug/insect, discovered them, each new leaf shows round bites have been taken out. I know it's not mealy bugs because I'm fighting them on many of my fruit trees and they look different. It can't be iguanas, unless very small, light weight ones, because this new tree cannot support much weight at all. Besides iguana bite marks on my other plants aren't so neatly rounded. I've attached a photo. Any suggestions as to what could be biting my new leaves? Whatever it is, it's greedy. You'll notice a small bit of leaf left on another leaf as though it had fallen out of the biter's mouth.
