Default Chewing Critters

Tom, Just a thought, have you checked the plants at night? Some of these
guys come out & do the
damage after dark.

My GH has been invaded by something that's very fond of chewing on buds
and
rarely on leaves. Careful search has turned up no snails, slugs,
diabrotica
or mole crickets, which do a similar number on my roses. Cyhalothrin
appears
not to discourage the critter.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
