Default parsnips skeletonized

... and it happened in no more than five days. I was away on a trip, and
the parsnips looked good when I left. I see no caterpillars, though a
caterpillar must be because the leaves are eaten completely except the
veins. Five plants, interplanted amongst the tomatoes, are affected.
Three other were not. The main parsnip crop, 15 ft away, is unaffected
so far. Culprits? remedies? I may spray them with Sevin.
