Garden Pests and Diseases: Mystery Munchers, 1 by spartan3

I\'m growing strawberries in towers I designed and built. The plants are doing well, but they have attracted an insect pest. The damage occurs on plants that are in the upper part of the 6\' tall towers. This tells me the pests are flying insects, for I\'m sure a ground insect would eat the first leaf it came to.

No sign of them during the day, so I\'ll be going out tonight to see if I can find one of the critters at work. In case I fail (or the bugs operate only during the graveyard shift), I thought that one of Dave\'s experts might link the leaf damage to a specific pest.

Thanks in advance.
