Have you seen the Catterpillars on the plants, if so, remove and stamp on them, if you are guessing then the other culprit to look out for, especially eating the leaves are Earwig's, they are more night feeders and hide away in day light, the Earwigs are about half inch long, thin and have 2 little pinchers at the rear end, they also eat greenfly but, make a meal out of greenery too.

I did pick off what I could find, tiny little lime green worms hanging onto the edges of my leaves and buds just going to town with their lunch. I didnt want to smash them because I didn;t know if they were butterfly caterpillars or not. I didnt't want to take away from my plant what in the future could help it grow and be the beautiful hummingbird/butterfly plant it can be!

Finally pictures, here is my little columbine.
