Default Vine weevil?

Mmmmmm!
The little devils concerned were 'inside' the leaf. Sort of a clear
version of the weevil grub. They left a clear trail within the leaf
where they had been munching away.If you took the leaf between thumb and
finger you could 'roll around' the little bu88er prior to crushing it!!
As for the 'drought' option, everything else was fairly greenish; it
just seemed strange that some of the leaves went leathery and black.

Any opinions as to a different vine? if so, when to plant as I do not
want
another summer looking at the side of a white plastic box
[sorry...conservatory!] Thanks again
