Morning glory for breakfast

San Diego, CA(Zone 10b)

Hi, Here is a photo of my morning glory leaf which has been chewed for breakfast by someone. I'm nursing this plant back to health after a spider mite incident, and have also used some liquid snail bait as a possible solution. I'm using neem oil on the spider mites; is there another pesticide that I might try to kill whatever is now eating my leaves? I have been checking carefully, and don't see the critter who's responsible. Thanks for any advise! :)

Hello again - Does anyone have advise for me? I'm really worried... Thanks!

Possibly caused by turtoise beetle or their larvea (check on underside of leaf for the larva). Usually damage is minor and plant should recover but if need be you can use a systemic pesticide that contains imadacloprid.
